A lack of effective treatment options has heretofore added to the increased costs of skin ulcer treatment and has contributed to the growing frustration in the industry. New product manufacturers can capitalize on these concerns by offering products designed to improve healing rates and prevent wound formation within a cost-conscious framework. Besides the always-improving synthetic dressing materials, newer technologies in wound treatment include the xenogeneic tissue scaffold, bilayered human dermal substitutes, recombinant growth factors, endoscopic subfascial ligation of venous perforators, and endovascular arterial repair techniques. The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and electrical stimulation remain controversial, but opportunities for improved cost-effective outcomes are all welcome at this point. New wound care products and devices are entering the market with lightening speed, all striving for the best clinical outcomes. Disease management programs that emphasize prevention and early intervention are resulting in the rapid adoption of new wound care products and devices, provided they have proven outcomes. This rapid uptake of new technology makes the chronic wound care market one of the best opportunities in medical device and biotechnology.
