Approximately 27 million burn cases requiring professional treatment occur worldwide each year, and of these 7 million will require hospitalization and more than a million will die as a direct result of their burns. Burn injuries are a particularly difficult and painful area of medicine requiring multi-pronged approach to address infection, pain, and a host of long-term complications. Continued advances in biotechnology have driven the burn portion of the wound care industry, estimated at over $1.5 billion globally.

New wound care products and devices are entering the market with lightening speed, all striving for the best clinical outcomes. Besides the always-improving synthetic dressing materials, newer technologies in wound treatment include the xenogeneic tissue scaffold, bilayered human dermal substitutes, recombinant growth factors, and other techniques and materials. In addition to product innovations, disease management programs that emphasize prevention and early intervention are resulting in the rapid adoption of new wound care products and changing the market environment.
