Laparotomy Sponges Market Scope and Segmentation      

Market Definition

Laparotomy sponges, also known as lap sponges or abdominal pads, are absorbent pads used during surgical procedures, particularly those involving the abdominal region. The sponge helps to keep the surgical site free of bodily fluids such as blood, giving surgeons a clear field of view and a clean work space. They are produced with materials such as cotton, rayon, and nylon polyester, which are hygienic and up to medical requirements, and allow for the greatest amount of fluid absorption. Laparotomy sponges are portable and easy to store in a first aid kit, making them ideal for travel. Sponges come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Laparotomy sponges rapidly absorb fluids expelled by a wound, assisting in the healing process and providing surgeons with a clear field of view when operating on a patient.

Global Laparotomy Sponges Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising geriatric population

According to WHO, the global geriatric population is expected to grow from 524 million in 2010 to 1.5 billion by 2050. Abdominal diseases are more common in the elderly, and it is one of the most common reasons for emergency room visits. This demographic is at high risk, with a 10% mortality rate. Other diseases such as hernia, large bowel obstruction, pancreatitis, and peptic ulcer disease in geriatric population are responsible for frequent visits to the emergency rooms, ultimately propelling growth of the laparotomy sponges market.

• Technological Innovations

Various innovations in laparotomy sponges, such as the introduction of pads with heat-bonded barium sulphate markers and improved X-ray visibility, are influencing market growth. Furthermore, because laparotomy sponges can be unintentionally retained in the body during operations, manufacturers have developed easily detectable and barcode tagged sponges to reduce post-operation retentions.

Opportunities

• Increasingly use in laparotomy sponges

The market is expected to see several growth opportunities in the coming years as surgeons increasingly use laparotomy sponges to manually remove tissues without spreading infection. The term "retained surgical item" (RSI) refers to any surgical product that remains inside the body after surgery, such as sponges, tools, devices, and instruments. Many options have been developed to reduce the occurrence of RSI. Among them are manual counting, X-ray detection, RFID integration into laparotomy sponges, and barcode detection. These are the certain factors which is expected to grow the market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Adoption of minimally invasive surgeries

Adoption of minimally invasive surgeries along with increasing number of procedures of retained surgical instruments will obstruct the market's growth rate.
