(PharmaNewsWire.Com, May 10, 2019 ) The major application areas of skin grafts include burns and skin infections. There has been rise in the number of burns and deaths caused due to burns. As per the American Burn Association, during 2016, in United States, there were 3,390 civilian deaths from fire, including 2,800 deaths from residential structure fire, 150 deaths from non-residential structure fire 355 from vehicle fire, and 85 from outside and unclassified fire other than structure or vehicle fire.
As per World Health Organization (WHO), the number of deaths due to burns account for 1, 80,000 globally. Majority of burns are reported from countries having low or medium income or in WHO African and South East Asia region. With the rise in number of burn injury, the demand for skin grafts for the purpose of replacing the damaged skin patch has increased during the recent years.
As per the statistics of National Burn Repository (NBR), in 2016, around 486,000 burn injuries received medical treatment. Over 60% of the hospitalizations related to burn injuries were admitted to 128 burn centers.
As there are constant occurrences of injuries caused due to burns in low and medium as well as high income countries, the demand for skin grafts are expected to grow in the coming years.
