Pressure ulcer treatment encompasses medical and therapeutic strategies designed to heal and manage wounds resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin, typically over bony areas. This treatment involves relieving pressure, ensuring proper nutrition, and providing detailed wound care to support healing and prevent infection. The goal is to enhance patient comfort, improve quality of life, and prevent recurrence through customized interventions and patient education.
The primary types of pressure ulcer treatment include wound care dressings, wound care devices, active therapies, and other methods. Wound care dressings are materials placed directly on wounds to aid healing and protect against infection. Treatment is categorized by stages, stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and stage 4. Key end-users of these treatments include hospitals and clinics, community healthcare centers, homecare settings, and other healthcare facilities.

The increasing diabetic population is anticipated to drive the growth of the pressure ulcer treatment market. The diabetic population refers to individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, a chronic condition marked by high blood glucose levels. This population is expanding due to widespread lifestyle and dietary changes that lead to obesity and insulin resistance, key risk factors for diabetes. Diabetic individuals are more susceptible to pressure ulcers because of complications such as reduced sensation, impaired circulation, and slower wound healing, creating a greater need for effective treatments and management solutions in the market. For example, in December 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australian government agency responsible for data collection and analysis, reported that in 2022, diabetes affected one in twenty people, or 5.3%, totaling around 1.3 million individuals. Diabetes rates were similar between males and females, at 5.8% and 4.9%, respectively. That same year, diabetes ranked as the seventh leading cause of death in Australia, with 6,050 fatalities. Additionally, Type 2 diabetes was the twelfth largest contributor to the country's disease burden, at 4.8%. Therefore, the rise in the diabetic population is fueling growth in the pressure ulcer treatment market.
Leading companies in the pressure ulcer treatment market are focusing on developing advanced wound care solutions, such as biosynthetic cellulose dressings, to promote healing, reduce infection risks, and improve patient outcomes in the management of chronic wounds. Biosynthetic cellulose dressings are innovative products made from bioengineered cellulose, offering excellent moisture retention, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial properties that enhance healing and protect against infections in chronic wounds like pressure ulcers. For example, in June 2023, JeNaCell, a Germany-based biotech company under Evonik, introduced the Epicite wound dressing. This dressing is specifically designed and optimized for treating chronic wounds with low to moderate exudation, including venous leg ulcers, arterial leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and soft tissue injuries. Epicite balance is available in three sizes and will be distributed to hospitals and home care settings. Made from biosynthetic cellulose, a hydrophilic polymer designed for advanced medical applications, this dressing offers superior wound cleansing and helps stimulate the healing process in slow-healing wounds.
In May 2023, LifeNet Health, a U.S.-based medical company, acquired the wound care division of Bioventus Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances LifeNet Health's position as a global leader in regenerative medicine by expanding its range of advanced wound care solutions. Bioventus Inc., a U.S.-based company, provides advanced wound care products specifically for treating pressure ulcers.
