Skin grafts are a major requirement in the wound care industry. However, the availability of a suitable donor is a major concern in the skin grafting system market. Hence, researchers have been carrying out R&D activities, which resulted in product innovations.
In February 2017, the University of Missouri-Columbia developed a new skin-graft system, which can be a better fix for chronic wounds. The system is minimally invasive and requires less healing time than the traditional skin grafts being used. The newly developed skin graft system helps reduce the cost of the treatment, making it a preferred choice over split-thickness skin grafts.
There are several products in the clinical trial phase, which would boost the skin graft systems market in the coming years. In June 2017, Mallinckrodt plc enrolled the first patient in the phase 3 trial of StrataGraft regenerative skin tissue. The growth in skin graft technologies is expected to propel the demand for skin grafting systems as the demand for grafting solutions and procedures will rise. Thus, the research activities and product innovations are expected to provide an impetus for the growth of the skin grafting system market in the coming years.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the SAM skin grafting system market in the coming years. The market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
