Skin barriers play a crucial role in managing stool containment, especially in cases of fecal incontinence. They are thin films attached to ostomy pouches, protecting the skin from contaminants and moisture that can lead to skin breakdown. These barriers also help in reducing the transmission of infections by containing infectious body waste in a closed system. In addition, they provide support and protection to pressure areas.
The market growth is driven by several factors. Firstly, technological advancements in bowel management devices have made them more efficient and user-friendly, contributing to a wider adoption of skin barriers. Secondly, the rise in the geriatric population and the prevalence of fecal inconsistency-related disorders have increased the demand for skin barriers. However, the market also faces certain challenges. The scarcity of trained professionals and patient discomfort pose hurdles to the market’s progress. Additionally, the high cost of skin barriers and the risk of allergies dampen market growth.
