Skin is an organ which
protects the body from the external factors such as bacteria and viruses.
Lacerations, surgical wounds, cuts and burns are skin injuries. Laceration is
a wound that is produced by tearing of tissue or skin. Laceration can be
short or long, wide or narrow and deep or shallow. The cause of laceration is
object hitting the skin. Surgical wound is a cut made by a cutting instrument during
surgery. Surgical wounds are of different sizes and they are made in sterile
environment. They are either closed or left open to heal. The signs and
symptoms of surgical wounds are fever, redness, swelling and increased pain at
infected area. There are four classes of surgical wounds, namely, class I,
class II, class III, and class IV. Class I wounds are clean wounds which show
no indications of inflammation or infection. They involve vascular system or
skin. Class II wounds are clean contaminated wounds. They involve respiratory
and gastrointestinal wounds. Class III wounds are contaminated wound and arise
due to outside objects coming in contact with the wound. Class IV wounds are
dirty contaminated wounds. They involve wounds exposed to fecal matter. Cut is
another skin injury, which is a closed or an open wound on the skin. Cuts can
be caused by sharp objects tearing the skin tissue. Burns are injuries to the
skin caused by sunlight, radiation, or any form of heat. Symptoms of burns are
large blisters, redness , and swelling.
Dressing is an important part in managing wounds. Silver is
used in these dressings due its broad-spectrum antimicrobial property. Silver
dressings are made of hydrofibre or foam. Silver wound dressings are used in
cuts, surgical wounds, burns and lacerations. The silver wound dressing
decreases the bioburden in chronic or acute wounds. Silver found in dressings
is in the form of an organic complex, elemental silver or as an inorganic
compound. Silver cannot kill bacteria in its unreactive metallic form and
ionization of silver is necessary. The external surface of the dressing is
coated with silver or it is mixed in the composite before molding. A continuous
film is formed on the dressing matrix due to silver ions solution. Silver shows
its antimicrobial action when it comes in contact with the wound. Silver
affects at various sites and interferes with the cell metabolism. Silver
destroys the bacterial cell wall and lead to bacterial cell death.
The major factor responsible for the growth of silver wound
dressings market is the increase in prevalence of diabetes. According
to IDF, in 2015, diabetes affected 415 million people worldwide. This number is
expected to reach up to 642 million by 2040. Further, the rise in the geriatric
population will fuel the growth of this market. According
to WHO, in 2015, 900 million people were 60 years of age or older and this
number is expected to reach up to 2 billion by 2050.Moreover, increase
in the incidence of ulcers will further boost the growth of this market. However, the high cost of development and
lack of efficacy of silver wound dressing can hamper the growth of silver wound
dressings market.
The
key strategy followed by major players in the silver wound dressings market is
product extension to gain more market share. For instance, in September 2016,
ConvaTec Group launched AQUACEL Ag Surgical SP dressing in U.S. It is an
extension of AQUACEL Ag Surgical cover dressings which helps to minimize the
infections at surgical site. By the launch of AQUACEL Ag Surgical SP dressing,
ConvaTec Group will gain more market share.
