Sales of Sealants, Hemostasis, Other Closure a Large, Shifting Market Worldwide

Products that provide hemostasis, closure, sealing and anti-adhesion of wounds comprised long established products (e.g., tapes, sutures, etc.) as well as a variety of advanced products such as fibrin and other surgical sealants, surgical glues, hemostats and products to prevent post-surgical adhesion. While traditional products are being innovated to keep pace with advanced products (for example, through the development of absorbable sutures), the shift of caseload and product sales away from traditional products appears unrelenting.

While traditional products are being innovated to keep pace with advanced products (for example, through the development of absorbable sutures), the shift of caseload and product sales away from traditional products appears unrelenting.

As a result, the balance of the competitive landscape is forecast to shift over the next few years toward advanced sealing, hemostasis, closure and anti-adhesion products.  Below is illustrated, in a combined “donut” chart, this shift from 2012 to 2017 in the share of the global market for these products.

These percentage shifts may not seem significant unless one considers that the global market for these products is over $5 billion.
