Surgical Drains Market Analysis
The Surgical Drains/Wound Drainage Market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period.
The comorbidities that raise the risk of death from infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 are frequently linked to surgical wounds and drains. To lower the danger in this susceptible population, suitable precautions are used when caring for patients with wounds. This is expected to have a significant impact on the market in COVID. Minimizing SARS-CoV-2 exposure is crucial for both high-risk individuals and healthcare professionals. In patients with surgical drains and wounds, attempts to reduce virus exposure are of the utmost importance due to the elevated risk. Minimizing the frequency of wound care visits, reducing the duration between visits, and choosing the best setting for wound care are all predicted to contribute to lowering exposure to COVID-19, in addition to following the best practices for preventing person-to-person transmission. Therefore, due to the above-mentioned factors, the market is observed to have a significant impact during the pandemic. Even with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the healthcare and medical sector has seen a high rise globally. However, because of the restrictions on mobility, the disruption of supply chains, the scarcity of raw materials, and the temporary suspension of manufacturing, the global market will experience diminishing growth.
The rate of surgical procedures continues to increase annually. Ultimately, an increase in the number of surgeries has resulted in the growth of the surgical drains/wound drainage market, as the demand for these devices in various surgeries is growing. As per an article titled 'Trends in US Surgical Procedures and Health Care System Response to Policies Curtailing Elective Surgical Operations During the COVID-19 Pandemic' published in December 2021, a total of 13,108,567 surgical procedures were identified from January 1, 2019, through January 30, 2021, based on 3498 Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. The high volume of surgical procedures is expected to accelerate the market growth. However, due to an increase in the number of surgeries, there has been an increased usage of surgical drains. There has also been an increase in smoking and alcohol consumption, which results in the rise of cancer-related surgeries. As per an article titled 'Alcohol Consumption and Smoking During Covid-19 Pandemic: Association with Sociodemographic, Behavioral, and Mental Health Characteristics' published in March 2022, the prevalence of alcohol consumption and smoking were 9.3% and 14.2%, respectively. The rates of increase in alcohol consumption and smoking during the Covid-pandemic were about 20% and 30%, respectively. The rising number of cancer-related surgeries is boosting the growth of the global surgical drain/wound drainage market. These devices are majorly used for the removal of fluid and air buildup at the surgical site. They are used to prevent the accumulation of fluids, such as infected fluids, blood, and pus.
According to United States Healthcare, data updated in May 2022, about 7 million orthopedic surgeries are performed each year in the United States. The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR), in collaboration with the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), has reported on 1.2 million patients with over 1.7 million hip and knee replacement procedures in 2019. The growing number of surgical procedures in various regions (especially those related to orthopedics) is a primary factor bolstering the demand for wound drainage systems. These devices help to reduce the buildup of air and the characterization of fluid. The application of the type of drains depends on which surgery is being performed. A variety of drain devices are easily available in various sizes and shapes for different types of surgeries. Hence, the increasing number of surgeries across the globe helps in driving the surgical drains/wound drainage market.
However, risks related to surgical drains and a rise in the number of minimally invasive surgeries are the factors expected to restrain the market growth during the forecast period.
Surgical Drains Market Trends
Active Drains are Expected to Witness Highest CAGR in the Type Segment
Increased incidences and prevalence of chronic dtoke cancer and cardiovascular diseases, including heart diseases, strokes, and type II diabetes), which have led to an increase in cardiovascular surgeries and cancer-related surgeries, are the primary factors driving the market growth. For example, cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of fatalities worldwide. Active drains are not exposed to the atmosphere in order to prevent the growth of bacteria. They are capable of keeping the wound dry and removing excess fluid efficiently. Active drains are maintained under suction (which may be low or high pressure).
The active wound drainage system is increasingly occupying a key role in improving the outcomes of cardiothoracic surgeries, especially in pediatrics. Thus, with an increase in the prevalence of chronic and other diseases (like osteoporosis and arthritis), the usage of active surgical drain devices has been increasing in various end-user settings. In recent years, this appears to be driven largely by substantial technological advancements in the medical devices market. For instance, In April 2022, Bearpac Medical and APR Medtech signed an exclusive distribution agreement for the sale of the Passio Pump Drainage System. Therefore, looking at the overall usage of the active drains, it is believed to show the fastest growth in the coming future. Similarly. In August 2021, OMAVAC Medical Solutions, Inc. announced the granting of a United States Patent, covering its SOMAVAC SVS Smart Suction Technology and surgical drain management platform.

North America to Dominate the Market in the Forecast Period
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market and is expected to do the same in the Forecast Period
North America is expected to show the highest growth, due to increasing R&D investments and various supportive government initiatives directed toward the reduction of chronic diseases, globally, which can be attributed to the growth of the surgical drains/wound drainage market. There has been an increase in the number of chronic diseases, which has helped in the growth of the market.
Additionally, the region has seen a sharp increase in chronic disorders in recent years. According to National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, data updated in June 2022, 6 in 10 Americans live with at least one chronic disease, like heart disease and stroke, cancer, or diabetes. These and other chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in America, and they are also a leading driver of health care costs. The need for surgical drains and wound drainage systems has been sparked for this reason, which has improved growth prospects. According to the American Academy of Neurology, in the United States, data updated in 2021, stroke and Alzheimer's disease have been ranked as third and sixth leading causes of death, respectively. These facts are indicative of an alarming increase in neurological disorders that often require surgical intervention upon diagnosis. This rise has, thus, contributed to the increase in demand for drains that are used for surgeries.
