COVID-19 Impact on Active Wound Care Market
The impact of the COVID-19 virus outbreak on certain medical products is estimated to be more prominent due to a decline in non-emergency medical care services and procedures. Over 2 million non-emergency procedures were canceled in the United Kingdom to free up healthcare resources to battle against this virus outbreak. Likewise, the hospitals witnessed a 30-60% drop in hospital visits after the declaration of the pandemic in the United States. As per the statistics published by Tissue Analytics, Inc., from March to April 2020, around a 40% decline has been seen in the hospital visits in wound centers compared to 2019.

Countries altogether have moved healthcare resources such as nurses, hospital beds, medical devices, and essential personnel for the management of patients with coronavirus. This has caused the exception of wound care from the crucial procedures list in most countries. Healthcare facilities with hospitals with dedicated wound care departments and specialized wound care clinics have been shut with the number of beds available in this situation as they are being used for COVID-19 patients. This has affected the patient visits to wound care centers, and casualty departments, mainly in the United States and European countries.
