This Kalorama Information report, The World Market for Sutures, Staplers and Sealants, takes a deep look at these critical products for wound closure and management. The report identifies market size and forecasts the market for the following:
- Sutures
- Staplers
- Sealants
For each of these markets, the report contains a breakout of revenues by region including: United States, Europe and Rest of World. The report also contains product discussion and competitive analysis for each segment.
The aging of the population and continued advances in biotechnology drive the worldwide sutures, staplers and sealants industry. The aging world population has created increased demand for all types of surgical intervention, particularly cardiovascular, orthopedic, urological and dermatological procedures.
A Diverse and Competitive Industry Explained and Analyzed
Sutures represent the gold standard for wound closure. The surgical staplers and staples market emerged in the 1960s. The surgical staplers market is very sensitive. On the one hand the number of uses is increasing; on the other, competition is tough. Sealants including adhesives, hemostats and glues have continued to gain market share. Despite their initial higher cost and the reluctance on the part of physicians to use them, these products have gained increasing acceptance in recent years. These products are especially useful in cosmetic and minimally invasive surgeries. Additionally, the use of sealants and glues is also associated with a reduced need for anesthesia, reduced risk of infection, and lower overall costs associated with treatment. Thus, some segments within the market are slowing in growth rates while others are driving growth. As identified in the report, conventional, mature products such as sutures and staplers continue to generate the majority of sales; however, their growth rate is slow and limited by the maturity of the product and the competition. Advancements in technology are expected to drive growth during the forecast period. The market is expected to exhibit an overall steady growth rate due to the increasing elderly population, availability of new therapeutic techniques, and the recent focus on wound closure products. However, recent economic difficulties worldwide will definitely influence market growth as healthcare providers, hospitals and consumers become increasingly cost sensitive.
There have been many research advancements in the last decade. However, recently these advancements are taking place rapidly with the most significant changes in the past 30 years. New developments are providing the health care arena of today with some truly sophisticated, highly effective wound closure treatments.
Issues and trends that are affecting the worldwide sutures, staplers, and sealants market in 2012 include:
- New Products
- Medical Device Tax
- Cost Considerations
