Wound is an injury to the body that typically involves breaking of a skin membrane or tearing of soft body tissue and usually damage to underneath tissues. Wounds can be categorize as chronic wounds and acute wounds.
Chronic wound is a symptom of disease, deficiency, ailment or infection that is characterized by no signs of significant healing over a prolonged period of time. Bariatric patients, diabetic patients or those with venous insufficiency are at high risk of developing chronic wounds. The most common chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers are treated using biologic skin substitutes and are characterized by non-healing capability for over 30 days.
Acute wounds are observed in all patients with traumatic and surgical wounds, superficial burns or abrasions. Acute wounds need to be handled efficiently as poor wound care or delay in the process could lead to chronic wounds. Management of acute wound includes examination for underlying injuries, removal of harmful debris or necrotic tissue, control of bacterial growth, and appropriate wound closure.
Wound healing is nothing but the healing of the skin immediately after an injury. Wound healing is a biological process which involves four phases such as hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. All these four phases must takes place in the proper time frame and sequence to heal the wound successfully.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of diabetes and diabetic foot, rising medical tourism, favoring the demand for wound care biologic products, new product launches and commercial activities in wound care biologics, rising incidences of chronic wounds and ulcers, rising research and development activities for the development of novel technology for the treatment of wound, and increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations by key players operating in the market are the major factors that are expected to drive growth of the Colombia wound care biologics market over the forecast period.
For instance, according to the statistics provided by the International Diabetes Federation, total cases of diabetes in adults were found to be 2,836,500 in Colombia in May 2020.
