BioMedGPS announces expanded coverage of SmartTRAK Business Intelligence for the Surgical Wound Market with the addition of its newest module, US Hemostats & Sealants.

Reducing the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) or increasing ulcer free days is critical for patients with diabetes, as recurrence rates are 40% at one year, 66% at three years, and 75% at five years. At the DF Con meeting in Houston in March, BioMedGPS interviewed David G. Armstrong, DMP, MD, PhD, regarding his research on the use of fat grafting as a means to reduce recurrence of DFUs. Today, fat grafting is being rapidly adopted in plastic and reconstructive surgery, but is now being explored for care of the diabetic foot.

Continued Shift from Biologic to Synthetic Mesh

Innovation and clinical outcomes are shaping the future of the US ventral hernia market. Over the next several years, the market will see a continued shift from biologic mesh to synthetic mesh, growth in robotic hernia repairs, and an increased focus on clinical efficacy and economic outcomes data that will drive product adoption and impact market shares, particularly in the biosynthetic segment.
