Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 07/06/2016 --In the global wound dressings market, traditional wound dressings have been preferred by patients and health practitioners alike due to their low prices and favorable reimbursement policies. However, advanced wound dressings are increasingly accepted among the medical fraternity due to their faster healing time.

The rapid growth of geriatric population, coupled with the growing prevalence of chronic diseases has fuelled the demand for wound dressings. The increased focus on faster healing time, increasing patient awareness, and rise in healthcare expenditure have supported the market's growth. Furthermore, the rise in the incidences of wound infections has promoted the sale of wound dressings. However, unfavorable reimbursement scenarios in some countries and the high cost of advanced wound dressings might restrain the growth of the market. The global wound dressings market has a significant opportunity to grow with the development of combination dressings.
