The global surgical sutures market is estimated to grow by USD 1,102.57 million at a CAGR of 4.68% between 2022 and 2027.
In the healthcare sector, the use of these products is a must since they are required for the closure of the wound or incision. They are used in a broad range of surgeries such as orthopedics, urology, GI, CVD, and many other wound closure procedures. Additionally, they are used in a wide range of therapeutic applications, from aiding in the closing of incisions in general surgery to complicated CVDs. Furthermore, innovation in the market such as the use of automated suture-assist devices helps in faster suturing and knot-tying time compared with traditional suturing time, thus reducing the operating time.
For instance, the Capio SLIM suture capturing device from Boston Scientific is one of the smallest devices designed for ease of use with easy suture loading. This device is intended to be used for difficult pelvic floor surgeries. It has a small diameter and less head width, which enables its easy passage through difficult anatomy.

The product segment is bifurcated into absorbable surgical sutures, non-absorbable surgical sutures, and suture-assist devices.
The market share growth by the absorbable surgical sutures segment will be significant during the forecast period. These sutures eventually degrade in the body as the wound or incision heals. They are further classified into natural and synthetic sutures. Absorbable sutures are the ones that degrade or break down in tissue after a certain time. They eventually degrade in the body as the wound or incision heals. Absorbable sutures are further divided into natural and synthetic sutures. The main advantage of these sutures is that they dissolve in the body, and there is no need for individuals to visit a physician for the removal of the sutures.

Growing demand for natural and antimicrobial coating surgical sutures is driving market growth. They are used in various medical treatments, and they come in two types: absorbable and non-absorbable. Absorbable sutures are classified into natural and synthetic, with natural sutures gaining popularity due to their ability to heal wounds without scarring. Examples of natural sutures include Chromic Gut Absorbable Sutures and STARCRYL braided and coated polyglycolic acid sutures. However, hospitals are experiencing an increase in Surgical Site Infections (SSIs), which has led to the creation of antibacterial-coated sutures by Ethicon. These sutures inhibit the growth of bacteria, and many organizations recommend their use to reduce SSIs. Natural absorbable surgical sutures are preferred over synthetic and non-absorbable types due to their benefits, and their demand is expected to increase, leading to market growth.
Technological advancements or improvements in suture-assist devices are a major trend in the market. Suturing is a crucial process in various surgeries, and new technology is simplifying the procedure for surgeons. Mellon Medical's Switch is an example of a significant innovation in suture technology. It is a single-handed suturing device that simplifies the suturing of arteries and skin, reduces the time spent on suturing, and reduces the risk of complications, leading to lower healthcare costs. STRATAFIX Knotless Tissue Control Devices by Ethicon and LAPRA-TY laparoscopic suturing devices are other examples of technical advancements in suturing techniques. The global market is experiencing a boost due to the broadening applications of suturing.
Growing preference toward MIS is hindering market growth and forecasting. Surgical sutures are commonly used to close wounds and incisions during various types of surgeries, including CVD, orthopedic, and general surgeries. These sutures come in absorbable and non-absorbable types, with absorbable sutures eventually breaking down in the body and non-absorbable sutures requiring removal by a surgeon once the wound has healed. However, sutures can take months to heal and carry a high risk of infections such as SSIs and HAIs, which can increase healthcare costs.
To address these issues, many physicians and patients are turning to less invasive and minimally invasive (MI) surgical techniques that require smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and faster recoveries. MI techniques also eliminate many of the risks associated with traditional open surgeries, including pain, blood clots, and infections.
As a result, there is a growing demand for MI techniques, which could potentially impact the global market in the long term. Despite this, ongoing technological advancements in MIS equipment, precision, and ease of use are expected to continue to drive patient and physician adoption of these techniques.
