What is a medical dressing?

Medical dressings refer to medical materials used to cover sores, wounds, or other damages. Injuries caused by factors such as trauma, burns, and abscesses can lead to a series of problems in the body, such as bacterial infections, excessive loss of water and protein, endocrine and immune dysfunction, and in severe cases, may endanger life.

Therefore, after skin injury, it is usually necessary to use alternative medical dressings to protect the wound, prevent wound infection and severe dehydration, provide a moist environment conducive to wound healing, and promote wound healing.

Future development direction of the industry - new medical dressings

The new medical dressing is developed based on the "moist healing theory" and can keep the wound moist. There are two factors driving the development of this type of product, namely the understanding of the wound healing treatment process in the medical industry and the continuous development of material technology.

● Representative new medical dressings include transparent film dressings, hydrocolloid dressings, alginate dressings, foam (sponge) dressings, soft silicone dressings, silver ion dressings, lipid hydrocolloid dressings, carbon containing dressings and hydrogels. New medical dressings can shorten wound healing time, reduce the amount of medical dressings used, significantly shorten nursing time, and meet patient requirements. The characteristics of new medical dressings, such as fast therapeutic effect and good efficacy, are difficult to compare with traditional dressings. Therefore, new medical dressings will have a larger application market.

Although traditional medical dressings such as cotton and gauze still account for over 50% of the entire medical dressings globally. However, in recent years, the growth of traditional medical dressings has been slow, while new types of medical dressings are growing rapidly.

In the long run, traditional gauze and bandages consume a large amount of cotton, but the product benefits are not high, the added value is low, the profit margin is small, and the product growth ability is limited. Developing high-quality new dressing products with independent intellectual property rights is the development direction of China’s medical dressing industry& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp;
