The current $9.1 billion global market for medical/surgical sealants, glues and wound closure is growing at an accelerated rate approaching double digit figures, with specific product segments within it growing at over 15% annually. The market potential for the future utilization of these products is expanding as a result of their progressive adoption by multiple [...]
The applications of surgical sealants, glues and wound closure are many and are rapidly multiplying as more credible data is generated on each application and as physicians gain comfort in working with the products in routine clinical practice.
Below is a sample of surgical sealants, glues and wound closure applications by clinical area:

The global market for coronary stents is estimated to be in excess of $7 billion and projected to be growing at 6% per year. With the average age of citizens in developed countries increasing, there is an increased need to provide medical care to the average citizen. As such, an aging population translates into increasing [...]
With the FDA's approval of Medtronic's Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve and Ensemble Delivery System (see link), another step has been made toward eliminating traditional surgery — at least that's the idea. The ability to implant a valve via a percutaneous procedure advances the art of less invasive intervention in ways akin to laparoscopic surgery, albeit at [...]

This illustrates the challenge for manufacturers to differentiate their products and pursue innovations that can command premium pricing, a [...]
Although healing of all surgical and procedure-based wounds might be improved through use of adjunctive surgical closure and securement products, it is likely that increased usage of these products will be limited, on economic grounds, to a fraction of procedures. It is realistically estimated that 10%–15% of these procedures would benefit from increased use of [...]
Although market growth in some Eastern European countries that have recently joined the EU is more rapid than in the west, the major European markets in terms of size are still Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain. The market for advanced wound closure and securement products is relatively mature in Europe and the scope [...]
The field of “nanotechnology” is extremely broad, as is its subset, “nanomedicine”, particularly since the field is defined only by the physical size on which it operates or has its effects rather than any specific technology type employed. Therefore, in principle, the opportunities for nanotechnology in medicine are huge (see link), but in actuality the [...]
