Veterinary sutures are medical devices employed by veterinarians to sew tissues and seal wounds in the course of operating on animals. They form integral parts of veterinary surgical instruments, promoting the healing process as they hold tissue in place until they are able to mend naturally.

Veterinary Sutures Market Trends

  • The industry of veterinary sutures is going through considerable growth on account of a number of key drivers. One of the biggest drivers is the continuously increasing pet population. For example, based on the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF), in 2022 there were 340 million pets in Europe, primarily cats (127 million) and dogs (104 million).

Therefore, as more households welcome pets into their families, the need for pet care, including surgical procedures with sutures, continues to rise. This growing pet ownership trend is further fueled by the increasing emphasis on quality veterinary healthcare, which encourages the use of sutures for various medical procedures.

  • Post-surgical setbacks of veterinary sutures can occur as a result of multiple factors and may vary according to the type of surgery, the suture material used, and the overall condition of the animal patient. One such complication is wound dehiscence and infection at the operation site, which can result in case of invasion of pathogens into the wound leading to inflammation, retarded healing, and other complications.

This can result from suture failure or excessive tension on the wound. Thus, such fragmentation can make it challenging for buyers to compare products effectively, thereby potentially limiting market growth.
