Global Surgical Suture Market Outlook 2018-2023

Surgical sutures (stitches) are medical devices that are used to hold body tissues together after surgery. They come in different shapes and sizes and are used with a needle attached to the thread. Surgical sutures are mostly used on internal tissues, blood vessels, organs and skin.

However, the increase in demand for improved wound closing materials, lack of product advancements in surgical sutures and adverse effects from surgical sutures are acting as major obstacles for surgical suture market.

Different types of sutures are used for different purposes. Surgical sutures can be divided into two groups; absorbable (PGCL, PGA, PDO) and non-absorbable (Nylon, Polyester, Polypropylene, Silk). Absorbable sutures break down in tissue after the specified time. As the wound gets healed, absorbable tissue also degrades. Non-absorbable sutures are removed by the doctor after the wound is completely healed.

On the basis of product, surgical suture market is divided into absorbable sutures, non-absorbable sutures, and automated suturing devices. Absorbable sutures can be further divided into natural sutures and synthetic sutures. Non-absorbable sutures can be further classified into nylon sutures, prolene sutures, stainless steel sutures, other non-absorbable sutures. Automated suturing devices are further divided as disposable and reusable.

Based on application, surgical suture market is divided into cardiovascular surgeries, general surgeries, gynecological surgeries, orthopedic surgeries, ophthalmic surgeries, and others.

On the basis of end user, surgical suture market is classified into hospitals, and others (private clinics, nursing homes, and ambulatory surgery centers).
