The report “US Surgical Dressings Market Size, Share, & Industry Analysis Report: By Product (Primary and Secondary), Application, and End Use – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

A surgical dressing is a sterile material applied to a wound or surgical site to protect it from infection, absorb exudate, and promote healing. The growing geriatric population in the US is significantly driving the surgical dressings market growth. Older individuals are more likely to undergo surgeries or develop chronic wounds that heal slowly. This demographic faces a higher risk of conditions such as pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, which require specialized care. Hydrocolloid and foam dressings are especially beneficial for elderly patients, offering comfort while treating chronic wounds. The increasing number of elderly individuals results in a higher demand for advanced wound care products and surgical site infection prevention solutions tailored to this age group, thereby driving the market growth.

Increased awareness and patient education about wound care are driving demand for high-quality surgical dressings. Hospitals and healthcare organizations are investing more in home healthcare wound products and patient education programs to ensure effective post-operative wound management. Patients are now better informed about wound care techniques, the importance of infection prevention, and how to choose the right dressing for their needs. This shift toward more informed decision-making is creating a higher demand for advanced wound care supplies and advanced dressings designed to improve healing and reduce complications, thereby driving the growth of the US surgical dressing industry.
