by Surgical Glue to Replace Staplers and Sutures
Staplers and sutures are conventional techniques used to close wounds and incisions during emergency treatments. However, these conventional techniques do not provide the desired results in complicated medical surgeries and are not capable of making a liquid-tight or an airtight seal on the artery or a lung wound. The uptake of surgical glue has, thus witnessed significant growth in the past few years and the trend is set to continue during the forecast period (2019-2027). Advancements in the surgical glue market were primarily aimed at addressing the limitations of traditional wound sealing techniques. Furthermore, due to favorable biological and physical properties of surgical glue, more number of surgeons are using this technique to seal wounds. Surgical glue is derived from several natural biopolymers including gelatin, collagen, chitosan, albumin, and fibrin.

The adoption of surgical glue to perform orthopedic, cardiovascular, ophthalmic, gastrointestinal, periodontal, and reconstructive surgeries, among others, has witnessed significant growth. With consistent research and progress, innovations in the surgical glue market are expected to focus on improving the biocompatibility of these products. Increasing awareness regarding the advantages offered by surgical glue, a significant rise in the number of surgical procedures worldwide, and focus on improving the efficacy of new surgical glue are some of the leading factors that are expected to propel the growth of the market for surgical glue. The surgical glue market is expected to reach a value of ~US$ 2.9 Bn by 2027 from ~US$ 2 Bn in 2020.
Demand for Natural and Synthetic Biomedical Adhesives
The popularity of surgical glue continues to rise, as conventional wound closure techniques are time-consuming and involve multiple practical difficulties. Furthermore, traditional techniques are associated with causing pain to the surrounding tissues and in some cases, lead to infections. Mechanical procedures, including staplers and surgical sutures could leave unwanted gaps when used to treat specific body parts. In recent times, the demand for natural as well as synthetic biomedical adhesives has experienced a significant boost. The demand for these is on the rise, as they are safe and remain unaffected upon contact with internal organs, tissues, body fluids, blood, etc. One of the primary factors that are positively influencing the demand for surgical glue is the exceptional capability of the product to prevent fluid leakage.
Despite the strong competition between natural adhesives & sealants and synthetic & semi-synthetic adhesives & sealants, the latter is expected to hold a higher share of the surgical glue market during the forecast period. The synthetic & semi-synthetic adhesives and sealants product segment of the surgical glue market is likely to attain a market value of ~US$ 1.6 Bn and account for a market share of ~ 57% in 2027. Synthetic surgical glue is derived from cyanoacrylates, polyethylene glycol, polyurethanes, epoxies, etc. Of these, significant research is being carried out to explore the potential of cyanoacrylates and polyethylene glycol, as they are easy to use, have the desired biocompatibility, and offer competitive biological profiles. Despite following the trails of synthetic surgical glue in terms of market value, the natural adhesives & sealants product segment of the surgical glue market is expected to expand at a faster CAGR (~6%) during the forecast period. In the current scenario, research and development activities have paved the way for the new generation of adhesives, including blended adhesives – a combination of synthetic and natural substances. While blended surgical glue is likely to enter the surgical glue market in the near future, synthetic surgical glue will remain the most prominent product.
Development of New Surgical Glue to Drive Surgical Glue Market
Stakeholders operating in the surgical glue market are expected to increase their efforts toward the development of new surgical glue with improved physical and functional properties. For instance, in June 2019, the research team at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, announced that they have developed a new surgical glue that is non-toxic, biodegradable, and flexible. The new product is compatible with both internal as well as external surgeries. Despite emerging as a reliable alternative for surgical staplers and sutures, surgical glue is typically used for external applications only. However, the newly developed glue addresses this challenge.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
The surgical glue market is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~5% during the forecast period. Limitations of the traditional wound closure techniques and advent of surgical glue with enhanced capabilities and mechanical properties will provide an impetus for the adoption of surgical glue during the forecast period. Stakeholders should continue their pursuit of the development of new surgical glue and explore the potential of blended adhesives as well. North America and Europe are expected to be at the forefront, in terms of market share and value, owing to advancements in technology, significant investments in R&D, and high concentration of established market players in these regions.
Surgical Glue Market: Overview
The surgical glue market for the historical period of 2017-2018 and the forecast period of 2019-2027, rise in prevention of blood loss during surgeries is anticipated to drive the global surgical glue market in the near future
According to the report, the global surgical glue market was valued at ~US$ 1.8 Bn in 2018. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of ~5% from 2019 to 2027.
Rise in Efforts to Prevent Blood Loss During Surgeries: A Key Driver
Blood transfusion has been a common therapeutic intervention, and mainstay used for the treatment of perioperative anemia and surgical blood loss. Anemia in acute and chronic conditions is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality.
Pathophysiology of blood transfusion in the perioperative period is complex and it is not completely understood yet. The existing therapies for the same have not produced any demonstrable improvement in the outcome.
Rise in the rate of morbidity and mortality associated with blood transfusion can be attributed to increased susceptibility and transmission of infections, transfusion reactions, altered immune response, circulatory overload, and transfusion-related acute lung injury, which result in longer hospital stays and risen expenses
Furthermore, overutilization of components of blood is widening the gap between supply and demand for products
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized patient blood management as the new standard of care (World Health Alliance resolution A 63.12). The WHO has urged all its 193 member countries to implement this new standard.
All these factors are projected to drive the global surgical glue market during the forecast period
Increase in Adoption of Minimally Invasive Procedures to Hamper Surgical Glue Market
In a minimally invasive surgery, doctors use a variety of techniques so as to cause less damage to the body compared to an open surgery. In general, minimally invasive surgeries are associated with less pain, shorter hospital stays, and fewer complications.
In a minimally invasive surgery, smaller surgical incisions are made and these surgeries are generally less risky than traditional surgeries. However, even with minimally invasive surgeries, a risk of complications associated with anesthesia, bleeding, and infection is involved.
Thus, growing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries is estimated to hamper the global surgical glue market during the forecast period
Lack of Reimbursements
Unlike pharmaceuticals and devices, which are often developed by companies with specific marketing goals or strategies, surgical procedures are developed in a more diffuse and less ‘market-oriented’ manner. Similarly, the entry of drugs and devices into the market is regulated significantly by formal and often costly and time-consuming procedures.
Evaluation of new surgical procedures remains much less formal than that of drugs and devices. Drugs are classically evaluated through a double-blind, randomized, and controlled trial. New devices can be evaluated in the same manner, although it is much more difficult to blind investigators and use placebos. With surgical procedures, randomization is highly difficult under reasonable ethical guidelines. Moreover, the number of cases evaluated is typically less than the number of drug and device evaluations.
