The impact of COVID-19 on wound care
Discussing wound care management amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the report authors write: “The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on certain medical device segments is expected to be more pronounced due to the slow-down in non-emergency procedures and healthcare services. More than two-million non-emergency procedures were cancelled in the UK to free up healthcare resources to help fight against the pandemic. Similarly, the hospitals in the USA saw a 30–60% decline in hospital visits after the announcement of coronavirus as a pandemic.
“[…] The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted the uptake of advanced wound dressings and devices. The Global Advanced Wound Care Market is projected to grow only 3.3% in 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis. However, healthcare providers have shifted to new models of care for chronic wounds such as telehealth platforms and virtual consultations. This is anticipated to revolutionise the wound management guidelines and lead to a new mode of care in the forthcoming years. Healthcare providers have already identified, noticed, and accepted the ‘new normal’. They are finding innovative ways to improve the delivery of medical care and quality of life of their patients.”
