The role of negative pressure wound care therapy has been considered to be a novel therapy for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. This significant population of diabetic foot ulcers has boosted the demand for NPWT devices market.
           The NPWT devices market has been primarily segmented into conventional NPWT devices and single use NPWT devices. The conventional NPWT devices market further comprises pumps, canisters, tubes and dressing kits. The NPWT pumps market of the conventional NPWT devices accounted for the largest market. Among these the dressing kits market is expected to foresee the highest growth rate during the forecast period. However, the single use NPWT devices are anticipated to grow at the highest growth rate of over 12% from 2013 to 2019.
