Unna Boot Market Outlook
*this image is indicative*
Unna boot is a gauze bandage impregnated with glycerine, zinc oxide, and calamine lotion. As an inelastic compression therapy, it works by increasing compression and providing venous support, aiding the healing of the ulcer. Unna boots find their application across several medical domains including wound care. It provides improvement in comfort, granulation tissue formation, and cost savings when compared to other compression therapies.
Venous leg ulcers are the most commonly occurring leg ulcers, accounting for 70% of all cases. Unna boots are widely used as a compression therapy in reducing venous hypertension and preventing edema. Consequently, the unna boot market growth is likely to increase in upcoming years. It is also used in combination with other treatments such as topical corticosteroids to treat various dermatological conditions including eczema and other inflammatory skin diseases. Furthermore, a significant segment of the geriatric population is likely to adopt unna boot in the coming years which will also increase the market demand.
The market is further driven by a surge in accidents and sports related injuries. According to the data published in Injury Prevention (BMJ Journals) it was revealed that around 5.40 sports or trauma related injuries occurred in every 100,000 participants. Conducted in England and Wales population, the incidence rate was found to be 6.44 per 100,000 in men and 3.34 per 100,000 in women. Unna boots are helpful in protecting the wound site and keep it moisture and itch-free as well. Consequently, the rise in prevalence of injuries is anticipated to boost the unna boot market share in the forecast period.
Rise in Venous Leg Ulcer Cases to Drive Market Growth
Chronic venous insufficiency and venous hypertension are the leading causes of venous leg ulcers (VLU), representing a prominent clinical challenge for both developed and developing economies. It affects the lower limbs and accounts for 60-80% of all leg ulceration. The prevalence rate is reported to be around 1.08%. In addition, it was revealed that the prevalence and incidence of VLUs increase with age, representing a significant social and economic burden, estimated to cost USD 3 billion in the United States annually. As the number of patients with VLUs continues to rise, the unna boot market demand is poised to grow to provide compression to the affected leg.
Cost-Effective Alternative for Treating Venous Ulcers
Unna boot dressing represents a low-cost alternative to wound healing, especially in the management of venous leg ulcers (VLU). The high prevalence and chronicity of venous ulcers necessitate the demand for effective and cost-saving treatment solutions. In March 2023, a study published in Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem (RLAE) analyzed the cost-effectiveness of compressive therapies including unna boot therapy to heal venous ulcers. According to the quantitative study, unna boot stood as the second most cost-effective alternative in the healing of venous ulcers. In Brazil, unna boot dressing was the most commonly used method as an inelastic therapy. Thus, the affordability of unna boot is attributed to its dominance in the compressive therapies market.
