The Global Anti-decubitus Mattresses Market size is expected to increase at a significant rate during the forecast period from 2021 to 2028. Anti-decubitus Mattress Market has been segmented on the basis of type and application, for instance in Hospitals and Community Care. The growth in this market is attributed to factors such as the rising geriatric population with an increasing number of bedsore cases, the introduction of new products by key players, and the growing demand for advanced-level medical care facilities across the globe.
Anti-decubitus mattresses are beds or support surfaces used to relieve pressure on the skin and tissue of a person who is in bed for an extended period. They can also be called decubitus pads, anti-bedsores mats, cushions, foam mats, and wedges. Anti-decubitus mattresses are soft, comfortable, and supportive bedding products that help patients who have difficulty moving in their beds. These mattresses offer a high level of protection to these people from skin breakdown due to prolonged pressure or shear forces which can lead to complications such as painful ulcers and deep wounds.
On the basis of Type, the global anti-decubitus mattresses market is segmented into viscoelastic foam, open-cell polyurethane foam, memory foam, cold polyurethane, and thermoplastic foam.
Viscoelastic foam is a type of anti-decubitus mattress which are made up of viscoelastic polyurethane or natural latex. Viscoelastic mattresses provide excellent pressure relief and sheer force protection to the patient along with durability, softness, and comfort. These mattresses are available in a variety of thicknesses and densities.
Memory foam is also another type of Anti-decubitus mattress that provides pressure relief to the patient. Memory foam has the viscoelastic property that lies between that of soft polyurethane foams, open-cell polyurethane foams, and cold thermoplastic polymer (CPP) based materials. These mattresses provide excellent comfort along with durability for long-term use without sagging or flattening out over time.
Open-Cell Polyurethane Foam is a type of mattress that has an open-cell structure, so it easily absorbs the body weight. When pressure is applied to this foam, air moves from here to there and creates space for your head or feet to lie in comfort. This makes these mattresses lightweight and breathable as well. It is the most common type of mattress in the market.
Cold polyurethane foam is a type of Anti-decubitus mattresses that are made up of closed-cell polyurethane. This type of mattress does not have any middle layer and the density ranges from 75 to 80 kg/m^sup ³, which offers decent comfort. These types of foams can be manufactured in different densities depending on how it will be used, for example, higher density (85 kg/m^sup ³) if it needs to withstand high loads or low density (65 kg/m^sup ³) if it has been designed for light use. The cold polyurethane foam also feels durable as they offer good resistance to compression forces and it can absorb shocks.
Thermoelastic foam is a viscoelastic foam that has a low-density material with very high elasticity, which can reduce pressure for long periods of time without being compressed. Thermoelastic foams have many benefits. These include long-lasting stability, a high level of elasticity, and resilience to compression. They also provide pressure relief that is evenly distributed over an area so there are no localized hotspots as well as a comfortable surface for patients or residents in hospitals or community care institutions to lie on. Thermoplastics offer improved skin integrity by reducing shear forces from weight-bearing since it's not easily compacted; this helps decrease the risk for ulcers and skin breakdown while promoting healing if one has already occurred. Furthermore, these types of mattresses can be adjusted manually with less effort than other types which makes them ideal for assisted living facilities.
On the basis of Application, the global anti-decubitus mattresses market is segmented into hospitals and community care.
Anti-decubitus mattresses are used in hospitals to prevent bedsores and relieve pain. Each hospital has a different Anti-decubitus mattress policy. Anti-decubitus mattresses are typically used on patients who spend more than 12 hours in bed and can be left on for up to 22 hours each day. The patient's care provider will change the position of the person every two hours so that one side doesn't become sore or numb from being pressed against it all night long. When providing relief for back pain, and Anti-decubitus mattress is often combined with other measures such as exercise, physical therapy sessions, and medication. These strategies are designed to allow people with chronic spinal conditions to recover mobility and strength without requiring them to sit upright continuously during recovery periods (as would happen if there wasn’t an Anti-decubitus mattress to provide relief).
Anti-decubitus mattresses for community care are used to prevent pressure ulcers and maintain a patient's comfort. Anti-decubitus mattresses can be classified into two types for use in community care: Viscoelastic foam anti-decubitis mattress is an open-cell polyurethane foam that offers some degree of viscoelasticity, which provides support to cushion against shear forces and distribute weight evenly on top of it. These offer excellent pressure relief as well as improved durability and strength properties than memory foam or closed-cell variants. Memory foam anti decubitus mattress is made with dense low volume cells that provide superior comfort because they conform to the body shape giving extra padding around bony prominences.
On the basis of Region, the global anti-decubitus mattresses market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. In 2017, North America held around 60% share in the overall global Anti-decubitus mattresses market. The US will lead the growth during the forecast period due to an increase in the geriatric population coupled with a rise in the number of chronic diseases such as cancer or neurodegenerative disease which are associated with a higher incidence of pressure ulcers.
Growth potential for this industry can be attributed to factors such as increasing focus on improving patient’s comfort with continuous innovation in the medical devices sector coupled with rising awareness about skin protection measures amongst healthcare professionals. There is a major rise in the number of patients suffering from chronic diseases such as arthritis, which can increase their risk of developing pressure ulcers.
Moreover, healthcare expenditure has been increasing globally due to rising disposable income and changing lifestyles. This coupled with increased awareness about health and wellness has led to an increase in demand for medical devices. These factors are likely to drive the global Anti-decubitus mattresses market over the forecast period. Moreover, the growing elderly population will also propel growth opportunities for this industry during the forecast period 2020-2028.
