Pressbox (Press Release) -
Smart medical digital solutions like smart bandages can transform your smartphones and watches into effective wound healing partners. Smart bandages are designed with inbuilt pH and temperature sensors that are capable of electronically delivering medication with temporal and spatial control over the wounded area. Clinical trials for these lab-tested smart bandages are already slated and in progress. Chronic wounds healing in amputation treatments, diabetics patients, burns and trauma cases, as well as treatments for wounded soldiers in the battlefield can be optimized in terms of real-time tissue repair regeneration process with smart bandages.
Smart bandages allow 24/7 wound healing management by sensing, analysing, dispensing medication and reporting progressions in the form of alerts to the healthcare professional and patient.
Presently smart bandages are in clinical trials and are expected to launch by the later phase of the forecast period, 2019-2026. During the first half of the forecast period the market is expected to witness high R&D investments.
Global Smart Bandages Market Trends
> 3D Printing to play an important role in the manufacturing of smart bandages. The flexible 3D printed strata need to be customized for thermo-sensors, pH sensors antibiotic microbeads and hydrogel to placed accurately depending on wound type being healed. Hence would be instrumental in tailoring the treatment protocol depending on individual patients needs.
> Smart bandages market would rely on automated and semi-automated systems requiring high speed resilient wireless network bandwidth. Hence smart bandages manufacturers will have to thoroughly test their products especially for monitoring and reporting functions if they wish to lead the market.
> The R&D investments will be done in excess as researchers have only successfully tested the smart bandages in vitro and pre-clinical studies being conducted are yet to prove a holistic clinical advantage in improving healing to traditional passive bandages.
Companies launching the smart bandages with cost-effective pricing would gain added advantages as compared to their competitors in the global smart bandages market.
> Increased support from government and military departments to support the implementation of smart technologies in wound healing management.
Rising need to provide an alternative to reusable components for smart bandages that are costly like microprocessors.
Smart Bandages offers a potential opportunity for innovators and expected to boost the growth of smart bandages market during the forecast period.
Global Smart Bandages Market, by Application Type:
Surgical Wound Treatment
Sports Injury
Burn Injury
Other Injuries
Due to rising need for surgeries in patients suffering from various medical conditions and burns being common during casualties surgical wound healing and burn injuries segment would dominate the smart bandages market. However, rise non-invasive surgical process can hinder the growth of smart bandages surgical wound treatment market.
