This is an excerpt from Report #S245, “Wound Management, 2007-2016: Established and Emerging Products, Technologies and Markets in the U.S., Europe, Japan and Rest of World,” published by MedMarket Diligence, LLC (November 2007).
Wound types fall into four general categories — surgical, traumatic, burns, and chronic — yet there is a wide variety of specific types, [...]
Product Development History
During the 19th century, surgeons began to experiment with materials designed to achieve hemostasis: gelatin, collagen, natural fabrics, and thrombin and fibrin materials. In the early 1980s today’s commercial products began to appear. They were rapidly adopted in Japan where bleeding is an extremely emotive issue, and also in Europe where local regulatory [...]
We have just updated our “High Growth Medical Technologies” white paper, as we expect to continually do in the immediate future, since the areas with growth keep changing, and new areas keep appearing.
As all white papers should be, it’s free. Here’s the link so you can download it.
