Analyzing the Market and Competitive Landscape for Surgical Staples

Jun 6, 2017

The surgical staples market is anticipated to witness rapid growth as the applications of stapling in medicine has gradually moved from open surgery to endoscopic surgery.

With a goal to improve patient outcomes, the healthcare industry is steadily shifting toward the adoption of advanced medical devices for new surgical techniques, for instance, the increasing preference for surgical staples over conventional sutures. Besides being a complicated process, sutured surgical sites are likely to exhibit wound leakage and separation. Surgical staples, on the other hand, offer faster recovery, higher accuracy, efficient wound closure, and reduced hospital stay. With rapid technological advances, especially in the healthcare sector, the majority of market players are commercializing staples for endoscopic surgeries. These devices find extensive applications across various branches of medicine including tissue and wound management procedures, gynecology, thoracic, gastrointestinal related surgeries.

In emerging markets such as India and China, surgical staples are widely employed for bariatric and endoscopic surgeries and cosmetic/skin grafting procedures. Although the adoption of surgical staples is growing at an exponential rate, the market is facing several challenges. The increasing incidences of allergies owing to the use of metallic surgical staples is one of the major challenges facing this market. Infiniti’s research experts have a deep understanding of the medical devices sector, helping them provide strategic insights to the client in terms of market assessment, competitive landscape, and market entry strategies.
