Amniotic Membrane Market Trends
The market is experiencing significant growth, driven by its wide-ranging applications in healthcare, especially in wound care, ophthalmology, and regenerative medicine.
- The adoption of amniotic membrane transplantation to address ocular surface disorders, including corneal ulcers, chemical burns, and conjunctival defects, is increasing in ophthalmic surgeries. The rising popularity of cryopreserved amniotic membranes for corneal repair and regeneration stems from their efficacy in promoting healing and minimizing scarring in corneal epithelial defects and other surface disorders.
- There's growing demand for amniotic membrane products in treating chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers and venous leg ulcers. Additionally, due to their healing-promoting properties and pain-reducing effects, amniotic membranes are increasingly used in burn care.
- Recent advancements in cryopreservation techniques have not only enhanced the efficacy and shelf-life of amniotic membrane products but also ensured the retention of their biological properties, amplifying their medical effectiveness.
- The introduction of dehydrated amniotic membrane products has further invigorated the market, given their extended shelf life, ease of storage and transport, and comparable therapeutic benefits to their cryopreserved counterparts.
