Anti-decubitus Dynamic Mattress Market

Anti-decubitus dynamic mattresses provide an operative solution to fight ulcer development in patients. While using an anti-decubitus dynamic mattress, an individual’s body is not maintained in a still position as interchange in the parts of the mattresses helps in decreasing pressure in the individual’s tissue with the suitable perfusion. Anti-decubitus dynamic mattresses are particularly important for the care of unconscious patients, bedridden patients, and patients with serious traumatic conditions. The anti-decubitus dynamic mattress system is useful for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers and is also approved for patients suffering from sleeping disorders. An anti-decubitus dynamic mattress system comprises a control unit with a digital sensor-controlled sheath pump and air cells organized horizontally at the base of the mattress. 

An increase in trauma and traffic accident cases around the world is one of the major factors driving the global anti-decubitus dynamic mattress market. For instance, according to a report published by the World Health Organization in 2018, approximately 90% of the world's fatalities on roads occur in lower and middle income countries, and each year 1,250,000 individuals die due to road accidents. The survey also showed that individuals aged between 15 and 44 years accounted for 48% of road accident deaths occurring globally. An increase in road accident cases has also augmented the prevalence of cases of patients with paralysis due to spinal cord and brain injuries. For instance, according to a report published by the World Health Organization in 2013, every year, approximately 0.25 to 0.5 million people suffer from spinal cord injuries, with the incidence rate estimated to be 40 to 80 cases per 100,000 persons globally. Also, the report discovered that 90% of these spinal cord injuries were due to traumatic conditions. However, the share of non-traumatic spinal cord injuries appears to be increasing. This is expected to drive the growth of the global anti-decubitus dynamic mattress market in the coming years. However, high maintenance cost related to the use of anti-decubitus dynamic mattresses is anticipated to hamper the global anti-decubitus dynamic mattress market.
