Body pressure is one of the most important extrinsic factors involved in the development phase of pressure ulcers. A pressure ulcer is a localized injury to the skin or an underlying tissue resulting from an outside mechanical load. As per The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP), pressure ulcers are classified into four types, namely, stage I, stage II, stage III, and stage IV. The stage IV (deep ulcer) is the most vital pressure ulcer that in many cases creates emergency medical conditions. Many support surface devices such as cushions, overlays, and mattresses can be used to prevent pressure ulcers.

The global pressure relief devices market is expected to experience swift growth in the years to come due to the increasing number of patients diagnosed with pressure ulcers. The availability of advanced technology pressure relief devices such as the dynamic air therapy mattresses is expected to propel the global pressure relief devices market in the near future. However, factors such as the need for skilled people to use advanced pressure relief devices and the high cost of equipment are two of the factors expected to restrict the growth of the global pressure relief devices market in the near future.

The global pressure relief devices market is segmented on the basis of geography and device type.
