DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/gcrbj5/european_wound) has announced the addition of the "European Wound and Tissue Management Markets" report to their offering.

In 2011, the total European wound and tissue management market was valued at 3.46 billion.

The European wound and tissue management market includes moist, antimicrobial and interactive wound dressings; negative pressure wound therapy, bandages, wound closure devices, hemostats, tissue sealants, and anti-adhesion products. These products treat a variety of wounds including surgical incisions, burns, and ulcers. The European wound and tissue management market is expected to be driven by an aging population and rising rates of diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.

These chronic health problems create diabetic ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and major surgeries which drive both the wound management and wound closure segments of the market. Technological developments such as negative pressure wound therapy and skin substitutes are also driving the market. Further development and innovation is expected to be a significant source of growth over the forecast period.

Scope: This report pertains to a forecast period of 10 years (2008 - 2018) for 15 European countries in Germany, France, U.K, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Scandinavia, Portugal, Austria, and Switzerland.
