Synthetic Surgical Sealants and Adhesives Market

The global synthetic surgical sealants and adhesives market was valued at USD807.1 Mn in 2019. Significant rise in the number of surgical procedures worldwide and inpatient hospital admission pertaining to deep tissue laceration achieved due to occupational hazards and traumatic accidents together drive the demand for synthetic surgical sealants and adhesives. The major restraint associated with this market is the stringent competition imposed by surgical sealants and adhesives manufactured from natural sources such as fibrin, gelatin, collagen, etc.

It is imperative to understand that closure of wounds is necessary in order to protect it from any bacterial infection. As per the latest research citings brought forward by the World Health Organization (WHO), annually 114 million surgical procedures are performed worldwide. Traditional wound closure devices such as sutures, staples, and wires have tremendous limitations most often resulting in tissue necrosis at the site of surgery or laceration. In the last 2 decades there has been a revolutionary development in the surgical sealants and adhesives being produced by synthetic chemicals such as cyanoacrylates, polyurethanes, PEG hydrogels, etc. They possess qualities of an ideal wound closure devices such as adequate adhesive strength, mechanical strength, flexibility, rapid drying rate, and biocompatibility.

Segment Analysis

The product segment is further categorized as cyanoacrylates, PEG hydrogels, urethanes, and other synthetic surgical sealants and adhesives. In the present situation the cyanoacrylates are spearheading the products segment on account of its excellent ergonomic features such as high speed of drying rate. The mechanical strength and the adhesive forces displayed by the cyanoacrylates ensures proper closure of surgical and deep laceration wounds. The toxic nature of cyanoacrylates and intense inflammatory response associated with its application restricts its use for external wounds and surgeries pertaining to skin surface. PEG hydrogels are gaining tremendous traction on account of its excellent ergonomic features such as biocompatibility, antibacterial nature, and rampant encapsulation of cells thereby providing a 3-dimensional flexible matrix with enhancing adhesive strength to seal tissues of visceral organs within the wet environment. Polyurethanes are currently being employed as a potential sealant to stop the venous bleeding, vascular reconstruction procedures, perioperative bleeding, etc.

General surgery is currently dominating the application segment for the synthetic surgical sealants and adhesives market. The laparoscopic technique is used to seal the wounds pertaining to surgical procedures of visceral organs such as stomach intestines, gall bladder, hernias, etc. In the central nervous system the synthetic sealants and adhesives have been in great demand owing to the difficulties involved in the use of traditional wound closure methods such as sutures, wires, and staples. Cosmetic surgery is anticipated to register rampant growth in the near future on account of increasing demand for reconstructive surgical procedures and frequent skin lacerations and cuts achieved due to occupational hazards.

Regional Analysis

North America is presently representing the largest market share in the geography segment for the synthetic surgical sealants and adhesives market. The chief contributing factors responsible for its impressive market growth are a significant rise in the number of surgical procedures performed in patients suffering from chronic disease. Stanford Healthcare reports endorse that in 2017, approximately 400,000 U.S. citizens have undergone inpatient surgical procedures. The presence of key players such as Ethicon, Inc., C. R. Bard, Baxter International, Inc., Merck KGaA etc., will further fortify the synthetic surgical sealants and adhesives market growth in the region. Europe stands in the 2nd position owing to the supportive regulatory environment provided by the European Medical Agency (EMA), for the market growth of synthetic surgical sealants and adhesives in the region. Asia Pacific is anticipated to register sturdy growth during the forecast period on account of the developing healthcare infrastructure and a significant rise in the medical tourism industry.
