Advanced wound care management has changed the way of treat chronic wound

 

Advanced Wound Care Management 

Advanced wound treatment includes multiple disciplines, including nutrition, pain, diabetes, and vascular and plastic surgery. Specialty consultations are available to improve blood flow to the affected area, optimize kidney function, and balance moisture and pH levels in the wound area. Advanced wound care products and management may also include ongoing management for chronic wounds, including treatment for underlying conditions and reducing the risk of infection. This can lead to improved patient satisfaction and a favorable reputation among patients.

The Global Advanced Wound Care Management Market was estimated to be valued at US$ 10,911.2 million in 2019 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period (2019-2027).

Advanced wound care management involves specialized medical treatment of chronic and complex wounds. Unlike basic wound care, which involves the use of over-the-counter products, advanced wound care treatments require a visit to a hospital or physician's office. Advanced wound care procedures and treatments usually last longer than those available over-the-counter.

Treatments for diabetic foot ulcers may include debridement, antibiotics, bio-engineered skin substitutes, negative pressure wound therapy, compression therapy, and specialty dressings. In addition to these treatments, advanced wound care can also include hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other specialized procedures. To ensure optimal healing, advanced wound care techniques can be augmented with a physician-driven approach.

Achieving better patient outcomes is the goal of advanced wound care management. By removing the necrotic material and bacterial and fungi-infected debris, chronic wounds become acute. Further, the advanced wound care products used in these procedures can reduce the risks of biofilm formation. HBOT is a treatment in which a patient breathes 100 percent oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The increased oxygen concentration in the bloodstream helps the wound heal faster. HBOT reduces swelling and infection, improves circulation, and stimulates the growth of new blood vessels. HBOT is also beneficial for certain types of wounds, including crush injuries, diabetic wounds, and brown recluse spider bites. It also encourages the production of healthy tissue.
