    Reviewed by Christian Espinosa, Founder, Blue Goat CyberLast reviewed May 5, 2026

    Definition

    Wound care includes negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT, e.g., 3M/KCI V.A.C.), advanced dressings, cellular and tissue products (CTPs/skin substitutes), and emerging electrical stimulation and oxygen therapies.

    What this means in practice

    Diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers drive demand. CMS LCDs on skin substitutes have repeatedly reshaped commercial dynamics.
