The increase in road accidents across the globe is expected to increase the demand for wound care products. The wound formed as a result of accident is exposed to debris, soil, bodily fluids and microbes. In addition, tissue is also lost during road accidents that increases the time to heal the wound. Wound care products are commonly used for cleaning, dressing and preventing a wound from microbial infections.
