Pressure Redistribution Pads Market Industry Research, Segmentation, Key Players Analysis and Forecast to 2028

Pressure redistribution pads or cushions help to prevent the development of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers can occur where the skin is in constant contact with the bones or the other hard surfaces. The pressure redistribution pads work by distributing or reducing pressure and friction force.

Pressure ulcers also are known as pressure sores or bedsores and can occur at the buttocks, sacrum, coccyx, heels and other areas of the body when the body part is pressed against the hard surfaces or bones for a prolonged period of time, creating unrelieved pressure and the blood supply to these parts gets cut off. This restricted blood supply results in tissue damage or tissue death.

Pressure redistribution pads dissipate the pressure over the pad to protect the skin from ulcers. The pressure redistribution pads are made mainly of silicone. Silicon is flexible and has the ability to redistribute the pressure and to protect the skin from bony areas. According to the National Institute of Health, the incidence of pressure ulcers in long-term care centers ranges from 2.2% to 23.9% while in home care settings, the incidence varies to 17%.

The geriatric population are more prone to pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers are classified based on the severity of soft tissue damage, the least severe to the most severe. The number of patients with hospital-acquired pressure ulcers is increasing with the rise in several medical conditions such as multiple fractures and cancer which require a longer hospital stay.

The number of intrinsic factors such as obesity, increasing age and immobility also increases the use of pressure redistribution pads.  Additionally, the patients who are in the wheelchair for a prolonged time are required to use pressure redistribution pads to prevent the development of pressure ulcers. Earlier, use of pressure redistribution pads prevented small ulcers from becoming blisters and infected wounds.

Pressure Redistribution Pads Market: Drivers and Restraints

A rise in the geriatric population increases the demand for pressure redistribution pads. Increasing prevalence of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers increases the market of pressure redistribution pads in the stated forecast period. Bedridden patients who are partially or completely immobile are also requires pressure redistribution pads. Cost-effectiveness and easy operation are the factors driving the market of pressure redistribution pads over the forecast period.

Higher adoption by the users because of low technical complexity also contribute in growing the market of pressure redistribution pads in the overall forecast period. Other factors such as obesity also helps in the rigorous growth of pressure redistribution pads market. Whereas, lack of awareness among the patients in low resource regions restricts the market of pressure redistribution pads.
