According to a new report published by Introspective Market Research, titled, “Ultrasonic Surgical Cutters Market by Application and Packaging Type: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024–2032
Global Ultrasonic Surgical Cutters market size was valued at $1.46 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $2.17 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 4.5% from 2023 to 2032.
The ultrasonic surgical machine is used for hemostatic surgery and soft tissue coagulation. It uses ultrasound technology to cut the tissue and seal the cut edges. The Harmonic Scalpel uses ultrasonic energy to enable both cutting and coagulation at the precise point of impact, resulting in minimal thermal tissue damage. The device operates with a frequency of 55.5 kHz.
Ultrasound devices for cutting bone have found applications in surgery, including maxillofacial, neurological, and spinal procedures. Major reported advantages include precision surgery, reduced blood loss, tissue selectivity, and reduced risk to surrounding tissues, all of which may accelerate postoperative healing. Ultrasonic surgical knives enable precise bone cutting with ultrasonic frequencies, with minimal damage to soft and neurovascular tissues. The project involves the design and manufacture of an ultrasonic bone surgery device and the development of new analytical and multiphysics methods for its optimization.
In minimally invasive surgery, surgeons use different ways to cut with less damage to the body than in open surgery. Minimally invasive surgery is usually associated with less pain, shorter hospital stays and fewer complications. Laparoscopy is surgery performed through one or more small incisions using tiny tubes, tiny cameras and surgical tools. Minimally invasive surgery uses new knowledge and techniques to access tissue through small portals instead of large incisions. Surgeons can perform many common surgeries using a minimally invasive method. Ultrasonic knives for minimally invasive operations where tissue cutting is combined with vascular hemostasis and closure functions. Another laparoscopy technique that may enable new procedures and increase the surgical sites that the ultrasound device can reach involves integrating a miniature ultrasound tool into a flexible surgical robot. Miniaturization creates challenges in delivering the ultrasonic vibration energy needed to cut hard and soft tissues due to the low amount of connected piezoelectric material.
The increase in chronic diseases in the world has also increased the demand for imaging equipment, because ultrasound helps in the early detection of diseases and lowers the cost of treatment. There is no significant risk in diagnostic ultrasound because it uses low power sound waves. The use of ultrasound in diagnostic procedures is more profitable compared to other medical imaging methods. Control of surgical energy instruments is central to numerous chronic diseases that require invasive surgeries and technological advances. The ultrasonic scalpel is an innovative medical surgical device that uses ultrasound energy to promote hemostatic surgery and soft tissue coagulation.
Global Ultrasonic Surgical Cutters Market, Segmentation
The Ultrasonic Surgical Cutters market is segmented based on Product, type, application, end-users, and Region
Application:
The Application segment is further classified into Orthopedic Surgery, Gynecological Surgery, ophthalmic surgery, urological surgery, and cardiovascular surgery. Among these, the Orthopedic Surgery sub-segment accounted for the highest market share in 2023. Bone surgery is a common and essential procedure in surgery. One orthopedic instrument, ultrasonic orthopedic scalpels (UOS) are widely used due to their safety and suitability. It is important to thoroughly understand the surgical procedure and bone removal of UOS. Ultrasonic orthopedic devices can be designed for much more extensive bone surgery procedures, if it is possible to generate sufficient ultrasound amplitude, for example, in the order of tens of microns, so that the cutting edge does not have to be in resonance. with the use of the sensor alone.
Ultrasonic bone surgery is characterized by technological change with unique advantages compared to traditional orthopedic and spine surgical methods. Enables the doctor to cut bone with a sharp chisel, Kerrison drill guide, high-speed drill comfort and micro saw advanced, but with a new dimension only provided by ultrasound, a gentle approach that minimizes bleeding. and preserves soft tissues by cutting bone with high precision.
Type:
The application segment is further classified into High Frequency and Low Frequency. Among these, the High-Frequency sub-segment is anticipated to show the fastest growth by 2032. 60 khz modified ultrasound transducer is useful in a new application of medical surgery. It is widely used in surgical operations and to stop bleeding. The converter transforms high-frequency electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibrations. It contains several piezoelectric ceramic discs that are pressed between two metal pieces. A harmonic scalpel is a surgical instrument used to simultaneously cut and burn tissue. This is the latest device introduced. Ultrasonic energy is used extensively in the Harmonia knife, where ultrasonic energy is converted into mechanical energy in an active knife. The core mechanism is an active blade that produces high-quality frictional force while the inactive arm holds the tissue in place.
Region:
The Ultrasonic Surgical Cutters market in North America is projected to show the fastest growth by 2032. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States. In the United States, cancer is the number 2 cause of death, accounting for 1 in 5 reported deaths, or approximately 600,000 deaths per year. The main cancers that are the leading cause of cancer deaths are still lung cancer, followed by breast cancer in women. Chronic disease, already very common in the United States, will worsen in all age groups in the coming decades. The burden of physical and financial costs is getting worse. But the burden of chronic disease is not just in the future.
