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 [...]
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 [...]
