Wound irrigation solution is used during the change of bandage or dressing of wound in order to moisturize the affected area and encourage healing. Wound irrigation solution is used for treating acute and chronic types of wounds. It is used to irrigate the area for a thorough examination and determine the severity of the wound. The wound irrigation removes the dead tissues and collected debris while examining ulcers. Irrigation of ulcer wounds helps in the healing process.
Antibiotic, antiseptic, or saline solutions are also used for surgical wound irrigation to prevent infections, with evidence showing that antibiotic irrigation solutions were better or no different compared to using antiseptic, saline, or no irrigation.
The research report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has significant impact on the distribution, transportation, and manufacturing of wound irrigation solution. Manufacturers of wound irrigation solutions were affected during the pandemic, due to restrictions and the closure of global industries. Import and export of raw materials were affected majorly, due to transport restrictions globally. These disruptions have been attributed to various factors such as lockdowns, travel restrictions, and many others.
The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the global wound irrigation solution market is an emerging area of research and development. AI is being increasingly used in the field of wound management, offering various applications to assist in the treatment of chronic wounds. AI can help in understanding wound and tissue classification, border segmentation, visual image synthesis, and predicting the healing process of the wound. Additionally, AI-based multimodal risk assessment models have been proposed to aid in wound irrigation and negative-pressure wound therapy.
An emerging market economy refers to a country that is in the process of developing its economy to become advanced. Emerging economies such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and other countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia are key destinations for the pharmaceutical industry. Over half the world’s population is residing in India and China, which results in high consumption of various pharmaceutical products to meet the demand for a large patient population in these countries.
Road accidents cause minimal or severe bruises and scratches. These are treated by wound irrigation solution such as antiseptic liquids. Wound irrigation helps in prevention of bacterial growth and supports quick healing of the wounds. Major accidents require supervision of healthcare providers and patients are rushed to the nearby hospitals or clinics. Rising number of accidents is anticipated to fuel the use of wound irrigation solution. For instance,
According to World Health Organization around 1.19 million people die each year globally due to road accidents.
Strict regulations by various governments to combat the COVID-19 pandemic is considered to impede the wound irrigation solution market. Furthermore, a temporary halt in transportation was registered, due to the lack of manpower and sudden lockdown globally. This led to the lack of supply of saline for wound irrigation. This hampered the market.
Manufacturers are conducting clinical trials of formulations to introduce products that promote rapid recovery in patients. Key market players are entering into an agreement with a large number of suppliers and distributors to outsource their products around the globe. This is projected to create lucrative opportunities for the key players to offer their products globally and fuel their market share. For instance,
