Results for tag: "Surgical Site Infection"

The Surgical Site Infection (SSI) market is a subset of the larger wound care market. SSIs are infections that occur after surgery, and can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Wound care products used to treat SSIs include antiseptics, antibiotics, and dressings. Antiseptics are used to reduce the number of bacteria on the skin before surgery, while antibiotics are used to treat infections after surgery. Dressings are used to protect the wound from further infection and to promote healing. The SSI market is driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, and the rising number of surgeries being performed. Additionally, the growing demand for advanced wound care products is expected to drive the market. Some companies in the SSI market include Smith & Nephew, 3M, Mölnlycke Health Care, ConvaTec, and Coloplast. Show Less Read more
