With tens of millions of surgical procedures performed
annually, the market for wound closure products and
techniques is significant. This market is expected to grow
further as an aging world population creates increased
demand for all types of surgical intervention, particularly
cardiovascular, orthopedic, urological, and dermatological
procedures. The emerging generation of wound closure
products and technologies, comprised of biologically-derived
and synthetic sealants and energy-based wound closure
methods, are well-positioned to capitalize on this growth,
benefiting from the growing influence of managed care
initiatives due to their ability to seal wounds quickly with
little or no clinical follow-up. The new generation of wound
closure products includes liquid and spray sealants derived
from biological molecules with adhesion properties,
synthetic tissue sealants typified by the cyanoacrylate
sealants, and energy-based systems. The key to acceptance in
the OR and ER will be positioning, with participants who
market their wound closure products as adjuncts to existing
closure methods, rather than replacements, achieving the
greatest degree of success. |
