Market Overview and Growth Highlights 2019-2027
Surgical Staplers are used in the surgery in place of sutures in order to close skin wounds, connect or remove parts of body. Use of staplers over sutures helps in reducing the local inflammatory response, width of the wound and the time taken to close the wound. Surgical stapling is the technology used in medical wound closure and is often used as an alternative to traditional methods. The use of staplers not only impedes the closure procedure but also minimizes the procedural complexities such as bleeding and reducing hospitalization.
Rapid increase in the diseases such as cancer, obesity and cardiovascular diseases in North America region are expected to contribute to rise in the number of open and minimally invasive surgeries. Escalating research and development activities for innovation in the medical devices industry is projected to escalate the demand for surgical staplers. North America surgical staplers’ market is estimated to surpass USD 2 Billion by 2027 and is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 8% during the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027.
Rise in the demand for minimal invasive surgeries, increased adoption of surgical staplers over orthodox surgical sutures in developing and developed countries, and technological advancements in the medical devices market are expected to boost the market growth. Surgical staplers offer various advantages such as they are more economical, accurate, and faster than hand suturing and causes few infections than stiches. Currently, clips are used instead of staples as they prevent piercing of staples. Stapling are suspect to cause blood leakages from stapled organs.
Market Segmentation Synopsis
