Asia Pacific Antimicrobial Surgical Suture Market Outlook

The RMIT Centre for Materials Innovation and Future Fashion is one of the organizations focusing on developing new, smart antimicrobial sutures to reduce the prevalence of surgical site infections. The center's suture products are made from materials that glow during medical imaging procedures; these stitches have the potential to replace mesh implants as promising alternatives. They can be beneficial in monitoring patient recovery progress, in addition to their impressive antimicrobial properties, preventing infections and killing 99% of highly drug-resistant bacteria after 6 hours of contact at body temperature. It may also significantly reduce surgery duration and increase surgical accuracy in general through the ability to visualize mesh location accurately on preoperative imaging.

MIT engineers have created "smart" sutures that can not only hold tissues in place but also sense inflammation and deliver drugs. The new sutures are made from animal tissue, similar to the "catgut" sutures created by the ancient Romans. These sutures are coated with hydrogels that can be integrated with sensors, drugs, or even cells that release therapeutic substances. These sutures could be particularly beneficial for the treatment of Crohn's disease patients who need to undergo colectomy due to excessive scarring or inflammation. MIT's smart sutures hold the tissue in place and identify inflammation as an early warning sign indicating the improper functioning of the resealed intestines. The hydrogel coating of these sutures carries drugs through microparticles composed of FDA-approved polymers such as PLA and PLGA, which also aid in a controlled drug release rate. This approach could also be used to deliver other drugs, such as chemotherapy drugs or antibiotics. Therefore, developments in smart antimicrobial surgical sutures are expected to bring new growth trends in the antimicrobial surgical sutures market growth in the coming years.

Asia Pacific Antimicrobial Surgical Suture Market Country Insights

Based on country, the Asia Pacific antimicrobial surgical suture market comprises Japan, China, India, South Korea, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. China held the largest share in 2023.

China performs more plastic surgery operations than any country except America. According to a report, over 22 million plastic surgeries were performed in China in 2020. This includes only the procedures performed by licensed plastic surgeons, which is likely higher due to the presence of unlicensed plastic surgeons in China. China's changing attitudes toward self-image, growing wealth, technological advancements, and obsession with celebrity culture fuel this growth. In China, beauty is deemed an advantage in the competitive mid-level workplace because job applicants are often required to submit a photograph with their application.

Apart from Plastic surgeries, orthopedic and general surgeries are also propelling the market for hospital sutures in China. In August 2020, Beijing Haidian Hospital officially introduced orthopedic surgery robots in May 2020 and completed more than 400 robotic surgeries by the end of August 2021. The orthopedic surgical robot could dynamically analyze the patient's anatomy and the spine-hip relation and carry out individualized surgery planning precisely as planned.
