Skin ultrasound imaging is a technique to image the skin at a microscopic level. In dermatology, skin imaging is carried out with high frequency ultrasound skin imaging systems which is set to have 20 MHz range along with other established diagnostic tools. The technique helps to elaborate upon the skin morphology non-invasively. Pressure ulcers are a common problem where patients are compromised due to immobility, nutrition, incontinence, or age.
The formation of pressure ulcer or deep tissue injury starts when a tissue is deprived of nutrients and oxygen. The ulcer formation can be observed ultrasonically, as the formation of fluid in the subcutaneous tissue. This follows dermal and sub-epidermal edema as the injury progresses. A number of patients suffering from stage 3 or stage 4 pressure ulcers visit the hospital to determine whether it’s a pre-existing ulcer or an ulcer that has occurred due to deep tissue injury. A shift from usage of regular ultrasound imaging system to high frequency ultrasound imaging system has been observed for the treatment of different surface wounds and edema.

Increasing prevalence of chronic wounds is a major factor driving the skin ultrasound imaging systems market. Other factors anticipated to drive the market include the rise in geriatric population, preference for drug-eluting devices for ulcers, increase in number of domestic and global players entering the market with new products and techniques, leading to increase in funding for R&D of surgical procedures. However, the ultrasound’s lateral resolution and mechanical motion of transducers is projected to restrain the market during the forecast period.
Key players operating in the global skin ultrasound imaging systems market include Atys medical, Cortex Technology ApS, Courage+Khazaka electronic GmbH, tpm taberna pro medicum GmbH, Longport Inc, and Temena Group among others.
