Absorbable Surgical Sutures to Gaining Widespread Admiration in the Healthcare Sector

The market is bifurcated into two: absorbable sutures and non-absorbable sutures on the basis of product type. Absorbable sutures are estimated to hold a market valuation of 61.70% as of 2024.

Attributes	Details
Product Type	Absorbable Surgical Sutures
Market Share (2024)	61.70%

Absorbable surgical sutures are in great demand as they are designed to break down and be absorbed by the body over time. This eliminates the risk of complications such as infection and inflammation due to the absence of foreign materials in the body.

Another benefit, driving the adoption of absorbable sutures in the healthcare sector is that they eliminate the need for suture removal. Compared to traditional non-absorbable sutures that require a separate procedure for removal, these procedures provide more comfort and convenience to the patients.

Synthetic Sutures Gain Prominence Despite the Advent of Natural Ones

On the basis of raw materials used in surgical procedures, the surgical suture market is segmented into synthetic and natural sutures. Among these, the synthetic ones are estimated to hold a market share of 51.60% in 2024.

Attributes	Details
Raw Material	Synthetic
Market Share (2024)	51.60%

Hospitals, surgical centers, clinics, and emergency medicare facilities, are generating a huge demand for synthetic sutures as they offer consistent tensile strength and durability as compared to natural ones. This provides uniform performance and reliable wound closure and support.

The clamor for synthetic sutures has also touched the skies in the past few years as synthetic sutures, made from materials like nylon or polypropylene, are inert and less likely to cause allergic responses, making them suitable for a wider range of patients.
