Dissolvable Sutures Market: Increasing cases of surgeries and burns are projected to boost the market growth during the forecast period, 2023 - 2030

Pune, India, 2022 /MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a half-cooked research report on the global dissolvable sutures market.

Market Highlights

Dissolvable sutures are stitches that doctors and surgeons, use to hold skin, internal organs, blood vessels, and all other tissues of the human body together, after the injury, incision, or surgery. These sutures have an anticipated advantage as they are broken down in the body tissue after a given period, and no foreign material is left inside the patient's body.

The global dissolvable sutures market is driven by the growing aging population, increasing incidences of chronic diseases, rising healthcare expenditure, increasing number of surgeries and burns, and rising number of hospitals. In addition, immense technological advancements in material science and increasing occurrences of musculoskeletal diseases are likely to propel the market growth during the forecast period.

The Dissolvable Sutures Market is expected to reach USD 4.82 Billion by 2030 at 6.40% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030.

Despite the drivers, the development of advanced wound care dressings and availability of alternatives such as surgical staplers and complications such as hemorrhage and leakage especially in esophageal and colonic anastomosis are a few factors restraining the growth of the dissolvable sutures market. Furthermore, stringent government regulations and increasing preference for minimally invasive surgical procedures are the constraints limiting the market growth.

Many prominent players currently dominate the global dissolvable sutures market. For instance, in April 2017 Medtronic Plc signed an agreement to divest a portion of its patient monitoring & recovery division to Cardinal Health for 6.1 USD billion. In this agreement, the company intends to include 17 dedicated manufacturing facilities among the product line such as dental/animal health, chart paper, wound care, incontinence, electrodes, and sharp safety offerings. Moreover, the Surgigut gut sutures by Medtronic are made up of purified connective tissue derived serosal layer of bovine intestines. The other Medtronic dissolvable sutures include VELOSORB fast braided absorbable sutures, CAPROSYN monofilament absorbable suture, and POLYSORB braided absorbable sutures.

In January 2016, Surgical Specialties Corporation acquired FSSB Chirurgische Nadein GMBH, a German manufacturer of surgical needles and sutures. With the acquisition, the company expanded its surgical products portfolio. Further, in September 2015, Smith & Nephew launched NASASTENT Dissolvable Nasal Dressing, a structural intranasal splint for use in sinus surgery.
