Abstract

Wound Closure Device Demand Increases with Number of Procedures

The number of surgeries performed in the United States is projected to increase by 33 percent in the next few years. Demand for wound closure devices will closely follow that trend. Fibrin sealants and wound closure strips markets should see the greatest growth among elderly patient populations since these products significantly decrease the risk of infection and promote healing.

This Frost & Sullivan study analyzes the markets for major would closure devices including sutures, staplers, ligating clip appliers, wound closure strips, and fibrin sealants. It highlights market drivers and restraints, and presents accurate revenue forecasts for each segment. With such a privileged view of the marketplace, your company will be poised to capitalize on a growing field.

Focusing on Niche Markets A Competitive Move by Smaller Participants

"Large manufacturers currently dominate the wound closure market with more than 60 percent of the total market share," says the study's analyst. Consequently, the introduction of new products is a challenge for small firms since they are forced to match the prices of larger companies that benefit from large-volume production.

Smaller businesses can remain competitive by focusing their resources on specific products while targeting specialized healthcare professionals and clinics to establish brand recognition. "Once these manufacturers have established their niche market, it is easier to branch out into new areas," states the author. This study examines industry challenges and provides strategic recommendations, enabling participants of all sizes to achieve industry success.

Synthetic Absorbables Devices Lead Suture Markets

"Physicians have moved toward using more absorbable and reusable devices," according to the analyst. Within the absorbable sutures market, synthetic products have been gaining market share at the expense of gut sutures. Synthetic products are perceived as highly reliable with more uniform absorption qualities.

The movement away from gut sutures has been accelerated by fear of animal-borne diseases. Doctors have switched to synthetic materials to err on the side of caution. This research monitors end-user demand trends and assesses their impact on the marketplace, giving your company important insights into the future direction of the field.
