The pressure relief devices market is segmented by foam-based mattresses, gel-based mattresses, fiber-filled mattresses, water or fluid-filled mattresses, and air-filled mattresses.
Increasing incidence of ulcers have led to the adoption of pressure relief devices for the prevention of ulcers. Pressure relief devices are used for the welfare of patients dealing with various lifestyle-related conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and obesity.
A study conducted by Hill-Rom clearly concluded that the number of patients with pressure ulcers that are hospital-acquired is on a rise due to the longer stay of patients in the hospitals than expected.
The extended stay of bed-ridden patients due to several medical conditions such as cancer, multiple bone fractures and other severe diseases results in pressure ulcers, which further increases the adoption of pressure relief devices. This has tremendously accelerated the demand for pressure ulcer devices globally from medical practitioners and end users.

Pressure relief devices have no reimbursement for Stage III and IV pressure ulcers in North America. Reimbursement is one of the crucial factors expected to hinder the market growth for pressure relief devices and thus, has been taken into consideration for reasoning out the high costs of pressure relief devices.
