Such factors compelled the manufacturers to introduce the product to meet the growing demand. Hence, in September 2023, Vericel Corp., a pioneer in advanced therapies for sports medicine and severe burn care markets, revealed the commercial availability of NexoBrid® (anacaulase-bcdb) in the US for the removal of eschar in adults with deep partial or full-thickness thermal burns.

Further, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval significantly boosts the burn care market by implanting confidence, expanding adoption, and attracting investment, contributing to market growth. In June 2021, Mallinckrodt plc, a biopharmaceutical company, received approval from the US FDA for StrataGraft®. This product consists of allogeneic cultured keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts embedded in murine collagen. It is indicated for the treatment of adults with thermal burns that contain complete dermal elements, demanding clinical surgical intervention for deep partial-thickness burns.
