静脈性下腿潰瘍治療(VLU)は、慢性静脈不全(CVI)および静脈性高血圧の後期指標です。正常な状態では、ふくらはぎの筋肉の収縮と腔内弁が血液の逆流を防ぎながら順行性の流れを促進します。しかし、逆行性流、閉塞、またはその両方が存在する場合、結果として生じる慢性静脈高血圧が、VLU形成に至る皮膚および血管合併症の原因となります。
CVIはVLU発症のよく知られた前駆症状であるが、潰瘍形成が起こるのはまれであり(5.1%)、その理由は不明です。CVIは、血液の逆流、閉塞、またはその両方の機序の組み合わせによって発症し、大循環障害および微小循環障害を引き起こします。腔内圧力の上昇は、タンパク質の滲出やフィブリンカフの形成を引き起こし、酸素や成長因子の拡散を阻害し、また炎症反応を活性化します。
治療法の進歩は、予測期間中の静脈性下腿潰瘍治療市場の成長に重要な役割を果たすと予想されます。従来の治療オプションは、多成分や2層の圧迫療法システム、または短期伸張圧迫療法システムへと進化しています。これにより、効果的な治療用圧迫を提供する製品が提供される一方で、臨床医にとっては包帯の装着が容易になり、市場成長の後押しになると期待されています。
例えば、陰圧創傷治療は静脈性下腿潰瘍の治療に用いられる技術の一つです。陰圧創傷治療(NPWT)は、静脈性下腿潰瘍の標準治療を支える技術です。NPWTは、局所浮腫の減少、細菌、炎症性メディエーター、創傷滲出液の減少など、いくつかのメカニズムにより静脈性下腿潰瘍の治癒プロセスを促進します。
また、RMIT大学とボルトンクラーク研究開発の研究者は、慢性創傷をスクリーニングするAIを搭載したツールを開発し、看護師が患者の自宅で最初の評価を行う際に、このような治りにくい創傷を特定できるようにしました。この画期的な技術により、1週間早く傷を発見することが可能となり、オーストラリアの医療システムにとって大きな前進となります。このツールは周囲の温度や光の変化に影響されないため、定期的な家庭訪問や熱帯の環境にも適しています。
さらに、圧迫療法の採用増加、静脈性下腿潰瘍の有病率の上昇など、その他の要因も市場を牽引しており、予測期間中に市場はさらに拡大するものと思われます。
治療費の高騰は、市場成長を阻害する主な要因の一つです。例えば、NCBIに掲載された論文によると、米国では静脈性下腿潰瘍の治療費は患者1人当たり年間15,732ドル、英国では7,706ポンドで、英国の人口に換算すると年間20億ポンドを超えます。米国では、人口が多いため治療費が高く、ヘルスケアのインフラが整備されているため費用も高くなります。
さらに、認知度の低さ、償還の制限、高齢化、創傷治療の複雑さ、規制上の課題なども、予測期間中の市場成長を妨げる要因です。
Venous Leg Ulcers Treatment (VLUs) are late indicators of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and venous hypertension. In normal conditions, calf muscle contraction and intraluminal valves promote prograde flow while preventing blood reflux. However, when retrograde flow, obstruction, or both exist, the resultant chronic venous hypertension is responsible for the dermatologic and vascular complications that culminate in the formation of a VLU.
Although CVI is a well-known precipitant for VLU development, ulceration occurs rarely (5.1%) for unclear reasons. CVI may develop due to blood reflux, obstruction, or a combination of both mechanisms, causing macro- and micro-circulatory dysfunction. The increased intraluminal pressure causes protein extravasation and fibrin cuff formation, which impedes the diffusion of oxygen and growth factors, and also activates the inflammatory response.
Growing advancements in treatment therapy are anticipated to play a vital role in fueling venous leg ulcer treatment market growth during the forecast period. Traditional treatment options have been evolved into multi-component and two-layer compression therapy systems or short-stretch compression therapy systems. This has advanced the ease of bandage application for clinicians while providing them with products that deliver effective therapeutic compression and is expected to boost the market growth.
For instance, negative pressure wound therapy is one of the technologies used in venous leg ulcer treatment. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a technology supporting the standard of care in VLUs. NPWT accelerates the healing process of venous leg ulcers with several mechanisms such as local edema reduction, reduction in bacteria, inflammatory mediators, and wound exudate.
Also, researchers at RMIT University and Bolton Clarke Research Institute have developed an AI-powered tool to screen for chronic wounds, enabling nurses to identify these hard-to-heal sores during the first assessment at a person's home. This breakthrough is significant as it allows for the identification of wounds a week earlier, a significant leap forward for the Australian health system. The tool is not sensitive to changes in ambient temperature and light, making it suitable for regular home visits and tropical environments.
Furthermore, the market is also driven by other factors like increasing adoption of compression therapy, rise in the prevalence of venous leg ulcers and others will further drive the market during the forecast period.
The high cost of treatment is one of the major factors that hamper the market growth. For instance, according to articles published in NCBI in the USA the treatment cost of venous leg ulcers treatment is $15,732 and in the UK s £7,706 per patient per annum, which translates to an annual cost of over £2 billion, when extrapolated to UK population. Comparatively in USA, the treatment cost is higher due to a high number of populations, and improved healthcare infrastructure leads to higher costs.
Furthermore, lack of awareness, limited reimbursement, ageing population, complexity of wound care, regulatory challenges and others are also factors that hamper the market growth rate during the forecast period.
The global venous leg ulcers treatment market is segmented based on treatment type, sales channel and region.
The compression therapy segment from the treatment type segment accounted for approximately 41.7% and it is expected to be dominated during the forecast period. Compression therapy helps increase blood circulation in the lower legs, ankles and feet. It is an effective treatment for pain and swelling caused by conditions associated with poor circulation, such as chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins. There are many types of compression therapy devices available over the counter or with a prescription.
For instance, in February 2021, Researchers from Tyndall National Institute at UCC; together with researchers from RCSI, University of Medicine and Health Sciences; multinationals DeRoyal Global Healthcare Solutions and Henkel launched a €1 million Enterprise Ireland Innovation Partnership collaboration to innovate the next generation of compression wound care therapy.
Non-healing chronic wounds affect more than 5% of us, with numbers rising due to growing elderly and diabetic populations. These wounds cause significant morbidity and mortality, leading to €12.5 billion in worldwide healthcare costs annually. In some regions of the world, a patient loses a diabetic foot to amputation every 12 seconds.
North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period, owing to the novel launches, rise in prevalence of venous leg ulcer cases in the U.S and Canada, rise in R&D for the development of newer products, and favourable reimbursement policies bolster the market.
For instance, in April 2022 Koya Medical stated that it commercially launched its Dayspring active compression system in the U.S. Oakland, California-based Koya designed the wearable Dayspring compression system to treat lymphedema and venous leg diseases in the lower extremities. It features a soft, breathable mesh garment with Koya's proprietary Flexframe - spring-like segments for delivering compression - technology.
Koya said Dayspring for the upper extremity has been commercially available since 2021. Its expansion into lower extremity care (available in both full and lower leg applications) allows the company to better support people with lymphedema and venous diseases.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the challenge of treating nonhealing vascular ulcers due to lack of multidisciplinary treatment, reduced healthcare resources, and restrictions. This has led to increased morbidity and amputation rates. Training patients in self-care and triage can improve outcomes, even with telemedicine. Governments, scientific committees, and healthcare officials should focus on protecting vulnerable patients during biological storms.
major global players in the market include: 3M, Integra Life Sciences Corporation, Smith and Nephew, Urgo Medical, Paul Hartmann, Bauerfeind Canada - Medical., Cardinal Health, Medline, Essity, Medi GmbH & Co. KG and among others.
