South & Central America Antimicrobial Surgical Suture Market Outlook

Sutures are frequently used to close post-operative wounds and to treat deep wounds caused during road and occupational accidents, orthopedic injuries, and sports injuries, owing to their ability to stimulate natural healing. Suturing has significantly transformed the wound closure process by accelerating it. However, wound care management is a complex process and surgical site infections are the most common medical infections observed among the large population. According to WHO, in low- and middle-income countries, 11% of patients who undergo surgery develop an infection during the process. To fight against surgical site infections, scientists have developed nanosilver-impregnated silk sutures. Nanosilver possesses antimicrobial properties, and its optical and structural characteristics make it an appealing candidate for biomedical applications. The increasing number of cases of surgical site infections is driving the need for sutures that have antimicrobial properties. In July 2022, Dolphin Sutures launched its antibacterial range of antibacterial sutures containing Triclosan coating, which is a known broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal agent. Therefore, increasing prevalence of surgical site infections are expected to create demand for antimicrobial surgical sutures and drive the growth of antimicrobial surgical sutures market.

Based on country, the South & Central America antimicrobial surgical suture market comprises Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South & Central America. Brazil held the largest share in 2023.

Brazil is the fifth largest and fifth most populated country globally. It is also known as the best medical tourism destination among the countries which offer medical tourism.

The Unified Healthcare System (SUS) is the primary provider of health services to the Brazilian population, and nearly 70% of the population is covered by healthcare services. Furthermore, the public system provides free medical diagnostics, treatment, and medication for some chronic diseases. These factors are boosting the demand for surgical treatments in the country, propelling the market growth.
