Geriatric Population at the Heart of Growth in the Global Surgical Sutures Market
A surgical suture is primarily a medical tool or equipment used to close cutaneous wounds in the course of a surgical procedure. It is also utilized to stitch internal organs post-surgery, such as blood vessels, body tissues and skin. The tool is, even at present, used widely in orthopedic, cardio, plastic, neuro, gynecological, and other general surgeries, despite the emergence of advanced technology such as fiber dressing, hydrogel dressings and skin substitutes. Sutures are either absorbable or non-absorbable, and are used depending on the type of surgery and need. Sutures tend to have differing properties as well, such as knot security and tensile strength. Sutures are an indispensable part of surgical procedures, and are expected to continue remaining prevalent over the coming years. The growing geriatric population with several disorders related to soft tissue, skin, breast, trauma, hernia and musculoskelatal diseases will fuel the global surgical sutures market.
