Global Surgical Sutures Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Global Surgical Sutures Market Outlook

The global surgical sutures market value was USD 4.24 billion in 2023, driven by the increasing number of surgical procedures across the globe. The market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period of 2024-2032 to achieve a value of USD 7.16 billion by 2032.

Apart from closing skin wounds, sutures have other applications also, including closing of fascia, intestinal anastomosis and enterotomy, haemostasis, surgical procedures related to the musculoskeletal system, urogenital tract surgery, ocular surgery, cardiovascular surgery, plastic surgery, neurosurgery, and others. Continual technological developments in suture material have led to increased variety of sutures available. North America, Asia and Europe are likely to be key markets.

Global Market Likely to be Driven by Uses in Surgical Procedures

Surgical sutures are widely used to close wounds (especially after invasive surgery) in a manner that prevents infection and bleeding. A surgical suture helps hold body tissue together after an injury or post-surgery. A suture is applied with the help of a needle and a connected thread. Sutures are available in different shapes, sizes, and materials. Such available variety is expected to drive the global surgical sutures market.

Surgical Sutures May be Classified in Several Ways

Classification of surgical sutures may be done in many ways. For example, the suture material may be grouped as absorbable suture or non-absorbable suture. Absorbable sutures are naturally absorbed by enzymes present in body tissue, and doctors need not remove them. On the other hand, non-absorbable sutures are generally removed a few days after the surgical procedure. Sometimes, depending on the type of surgery performed, non-absorbable sutures may permanently be left in the body. Absorbable sutures are grouped as  Catgut Sutures (natural, monofilament absorbable suture displaying decent tensile strength; fit for use in healing tissue quickly due to the suture’s property of eventual disintegration),    Polydioxanone Sutures (synthetic monofilament suture; this polydioxanone suture is used to heal various types of soft-tissue wounds, abdominal closures, and in paediatric cardiac processes), Poliglecaprone Sutures (synthetic monofilament suture, usually employed to repair soft tissues; these sutures enable aesthetic, mark-free healing), Polyglactin Sutures (synthetic braid suture, fit to be used to repair face and hand lacerations; a preferred alternative for general soft tissue approximation).

Non-absorbable Sutures are manufactured from special silk, or synthetic material like nylon, polyester, or poly propylene. Non-absorbable sutures are employed to close wounds on the skin, and may or may not include coatings to enhance performance characteristics. Non-absorbable sutures generally produce lower degrees of scarring which is why these are used in procedures where cosmetic outcomes are significant.

On the basis of suture material structure, a classification may be done. For example, a monofilament suture made of a single thread enables easy passage of the suture through the tissue. On the other hand, a braided suture comprising several small threads interwoven together offers more security, but has a greater potential for infections.

Sutures may also be classified on the basis of being manufactured from natural or synthetic material.

Advanced Sutures Expected to Boost Market Growth

While sutures are employed to close wounds and expedite healing, there have been problems associated with their use, such as damage to soft tissues due to stiff fibres. Advancements in the domain are expected to lead to superior solutions and drive the global surgical sutures market. For example, researchers have devised an advanced tough gel sheathed (TGS) suture, based on the structure of the human tendon. The design of the solution is based on the endotenon sheath, which, due to its double-network structure, is strong and sturdy; it fastens collagen fibres together while its elastin network strengthens it. The next-generation sutures carry a slippery but strong gel envelop that imitates the structure of soft connective tissues. TGS sutures may be designed to offer personalized medicine on the basis of a patient's requirements.
