A skin grafting device is a surgical instrument or instrumentality to obtain and transfer skin from one area of the body (donor area) to another (recipient area) for treatment of wounds such as burns, trauma, chronic wounds, or skin loss due to surgical intervention (e.g. tumor removal)
Technological advancements in skin grafting devices are likely to drive growth during the forecast period. Recent advancements to powered or automated dermatomes, promising skin graft meshers with adjustable ratios of expansion, and portable skin grafting systems have increased the precision, efficiency, and outcomes of grafting and the other surgical activities, thereby reducing the surgical time, trauma to the donor site and improving the quality of the grafts and making it an effective and obtainable procedure.
Moreover, digital imaging and robotic assistance in some of the advanced skin grafting systems allow for more individualized treatment regimens. The demand for technologically advanced skin grafting devices is likely to accelerate, due to the increasing number of hospitals and burn care centers utilizing cutting-edge technology to improve patient outcomes and overall patient care and contribution to society as a whole
The skin grafting device market is expected to record significant growth during the forecast period due to the increasing prevalence of chronic wounds. The rise in the global diabetic, obesity, and aging population will create more chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers. These chronic wounds do not respond to standard wound care options and will require surgical interventions, like skin grafting, to repair the tissue integrity and prevent health risks such as infection or amputation.
There will be a growing population of patients with these long-term conditions in both - developed and emerging economies, which will continue the rise in the need for skin grafting devices and suitable wound care options. Patients also want to maintain their quality of life through more efficacious wound care solutions that use skin grafting devices. The increasing need for effective skin grafting products will drive growth in the skin grafting device market as health systems will invest in appropriate grafting technologies to manage the growing burden of chronic wounds.
North America is expected to dominate the skin grafting device market over the forecast period, owing to factors including advanced healthcare infrastructure, high incidence of burn injuries & chronic wounds, and advanced medical technology adoption. North America has a broad base of burn care hospitals and specialized hospitals that use skin grafting devices in emergency and elective situations.
Migration of new skin grafting devices into a growing number of burn industries terminals is facilitated by loads of existing key medical device manufacturers and research and development programs. In one way or another, North America will be instrumental in promoting market growth.
Dermatomes will lead the skin grafting device market by product type, due to their importance in harvesting a thin and an even layer of skin for grafting. Dermatomes can be used in treatment of burns, reconstructive surgeries, as well as treating chronic wounds. Therefore, the important properties of dermatomes in research and clinical settings also parallel the importance and necessity of precision and consistency for good clinical practice.
There are many types of dermatomes. Among those types of dermatomes, powered dermatomes such as electric or air powered dermatomes are particularly popular products for patient care in that they allow the practitioner to do things faster, more efficiently, and with precision relative to outcomes. As advancements continue to help improve functionality and usability, we can expect high competence and confidence in dermatomes secured by the ability of dermatomes to be the leading player by product type.
Key participants within the skin grafting device market are focusing on product innovation, strategic partnerships, and geographic expansion in an effort to expand their market presence. Firms are investing in innovative/advanced devices that are easier to use and building partnerships with hospitals and the research community to facilitate the adoption of their device.
