Q317 Market Recap Biosurgery Hemostats & Sealants: Supply Chain Disruptions 

By Doug Devens, Senior Analyst Biosurgery

Surprisingly, the US market for Hemostats and Sealants was down vs Q217 and YoY, an anomaly from historic growth rates, primarily due to supply chain disruptions and softness in the thrombin hemostat segment.

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.
