Preoperative skin preparation refers to the prior treatment of the skin at the incision site of the patient going under an operation. The point of this methodology is to lessen the resident and transient microbial burden on the patient's skin as much as possible prior to making the surgical incision at the skin barrier.
Preoperative skin preparation incorporates not only the intended surgical site but also a more extensive region of the patient’s skin and for the most part, happens when the patient is already positioned on the surgical table.
Preoperative skin preparation is also important because it reduces the risk of post-operative surgical site infection as the skin is a major source of pathogens. Surgical site infection represents a noteworthy source of morbidity and mortality among patients experiencing surgery.
It occurs up to 30 days after surgery and affects either the incision or deep tissue at the surgical site. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for the prevention of surgical site infections emphasize the importance of good preoperative skin preparation. The procedure of preoperative skin preparation involves hair clipping and the application of different alcohol-based solutions and antiseptic creams.
Expanding the number of injury cases and the massively developing number of surgeries worldwide all together contribute to the significant growth in the usage of preoperative skin preparation products and are expected to elevate the growth of the preoperative skin preparation market, globally.
Also, the rising count of invasive procedures happening worldwide to treat various number of diseases and conditions is also expected to boost the market of preoperative skin preparation, globally.
Moreover, growing awareness about surgical site infection which results in significant clinical problems and increased days of hospitalization and treatment cost paves the way for the potential growth of the market for preoperative skin preparation market. However, the non-availability of high-quality preoperative skin preparation products in some regional markets may slow down the growth of the preoperative skin preparation market.
Based on the application, the global preoperative skin preparation market is classified into two types, namely, Hair Removal and Skin Antiseptics. Skin Antiseptics is expected to hold the maximum revenue share in the market of preoperative skin preparation.
Further, in the hair removal segment, surgical clippers are expected to hold the maximum revenue share in the preoperative skin preparation market. In the Skin antiseptics segment Alcohol and Chlorhexidine-based preoperative skin preparation product is expected to hold the maximum revenue share in the preoperative skin preparation market.
Based on the end user, the preoperative skin preparation market is divided broadly into four segments, namely, Hospitals, Intensive care units, Ambulatory surgical centres and Specialty clinics. The importance of using preoperative skin preparation products prior to surgical incisions during operation is expected to propel the global market of preoperative skin preparation in the healthcare sector exponentially.
Geologically, the worldwide preoperative skin preparation market is fragmented into viz. North America, Latin America, East Asia, South Asia, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Oceania. North America is anticipated to lead the business sector in the global preoperative skin preparation market because of the availability of state-of-the-art surgical centres, good healthcare infrastructure and availability of advanced medicinal services units.
The rising number of medical ventures and services unit foundations in the Asia Pacific is expected to experience a constant development speed of the preoperative skin preparation market. However, the Middle East and Africa are anticipated to be the least lucrative business sector for the preoperative skin preparation market.
