Gelatin Sponge Market Is Growing with the Increasing Number of Surgical Procedures Worldwide

Gelatin Sponge Market

Gelatin sponge is a medical device intended for application to bleeding surfaces, indicated as a hemostatic device in surgical procedures, when control of venous, capillary, and arterial bleeding by pressure, ligature, and other conventional procedures is ineffective or impractical. Each gelatin sponge is capable of absorbing and holding blood, according to its mesh size. Gelatin sponges are sterile and intended for single use, as reuse can lead to transmission of HIV and hepatitis, which can put patients and health care providers at risk. Thus, they are widely used during various surgical procedures, such as abdominal surgery, anorectal surgery, ENT surgery, dental surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery, among others.

Thus, with the increasing number of surgical procedures worldwide, demand for gelatin sponge is also increasing, driving the growth of the gelatin sponge market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every year, more than 230 million major surgical procedures are undertaken worldwide. Moreover, growth of the market is driven by the increasing prevalence different types of cancer in both the sexes worldwide. According to WHO, cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. The most common in 2020 (in terms of new cases of cancer) were breast cancer, with around 2.26 million cases. This in turn is also expected to increase the demand for gelatin sponge worldwide.

Growth of the gelatin sponge market is also attributed to increase in research and development activities for the development of safe and effective gelatin sponge. For example, in 2019, Deep Life Medical announced the completion of phase 2 clinical trial of an interventional study on the effectiveness of gelatin sponge for pain management after hemorrhoidectomy. Moreover, the gelatin sponge market, in North America, is witnessing robust growth due to the increasing number of surgical procedures and the increasing prevalence of cancer in the region. According to the National Cancer Institute, in 2020, around 1,806,590 new cases of cancer were expected to be diagnosed in the United States and around 606,520 were expected to die from the disease.

Thus, there is an increasing demand for gelatin sponge in this region. Gelatin sponge are used wet or blotted to dampness on gauze before application to the bleeding site. It should be kept in place with moderate pressure using a cotton pledget or small gauze sponge until hemostasis results. However, factors such as the availability of alternatives to gelatin sponge and safety concerns associated with gelatin sponge are restraining the gelatin sponge market growth.
