The global Dental Suture Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 176.22 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period 2022 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Dental sutures are specialized stitches used during dental surgical procedures to close wounds, reconnect gums or other tissues to achieve proper healing. Sutures help bring the edges of a surgical incision or wound together by knotting or intertwining strands of suture material. Some key advantages of dental sutures include minimized bleeding and infection at the surgical site, precise wound approximation and accurate closure. Dental procedures such as dental implants, biopsies, cyst removals and periodontal flap surgery often require use of sutures.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the dental suture market is the rising popularity of absorbable sutures. Absorbable sutures are preferred over non-absorbable sutures in dental procedures as they dissolve naturally in the body post-surgery and do not require removal. This reduces healing time and chances of infection. Therefore, demand for synthetic absorbable sutures made from materials such as polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid is increasing in the dental industry. Biocompatibility and flexibility of these advanced material based dental sutures also contribute to better patient outcomes.
