The dynamics behind these products’ success:
Significant cost-effectiveness arguments can be made for products that avoid blood transfusions or reduce the quantities of blood transfusion products required. Approximately 8 million patients worldwide would benefit directly from increased usage of hemostats, sealants and glue products to reduce bleeding during cardiovascular, orthopaedic, urologic, and other general surgical [...]

The dynamics behind these products’ success includes the pragmatic benefits that ensure their ready adoption in the clinical setting:
Use of cyanoacrylate glues for closure has established a considerable following in all regions of the world. Conservative accident and emergency costs for closure of a small bleeding trauma laceration with sutures, local anaesthetic, antibiotic [...]
There are many reasons underlying the explosive growth of the worldwide markets for surgical sealants, hemostasis, wound closure and anti-adhesion.
The market potential for products in the surgical securement field is driven by a combination of new technologies coming to market and expanding caseload for which these technologies are applicable. The potential for these products continues [...]
Products for closing and sealing traumatic and surgical wounds, inducing hemostasis, and preventing post-surgical adhesions represent a rapidly growing market with growth in clinical applications, companies and market introductions.
MedMarket Diligence has published its 2009 report on "Worldwide Surgical Sealants, Glues, Wound Closure and Anti-Adhesion Markets, 2009-2013." The report is described here.
The market for surgical closure [...]
Add to the list of naturally occurring glue sources — mussels, the C. crescentus bacteria, Australian burrowing frogs and the gecko ("geckel" glue) — the sandcastle worm. University of Utah bioengineers have made a synthetic version of a superglue based on a naturally occurring glue produced by sandcastle worms, which use this glue to build [...]
The market for surgical closure and securement — sealants, glues, sutures, tapes, and anti-adhesion — has entered a phase in which major driving forces are the introduction of new procedures and techniques by the surgical profession, the development by the medical device industry of new wound closure devices and biomaterials, and the growing willingness of [...]
[Publisher's note: The report #S175 described below is the most recent in a highly regarding industry series tracking this huge med/surg market, with its implication for devices, biologics, biomaterials and other products across a wide range of clinical application sectors. The report is pending publication in early December 2008.]
