Surgical Scalpels Market Synopsis

Surgical Scalpels Market Size Was Valued at USD 1.26 Billion in 2023 and is Projected to Reach USD 1.78 Billion by 2032, Growing at a CAGR of 3.9% From 2024-2032.

A scalpel, lancet, or bistoury is a small and extremely sharp-bladed instrument used by healthcare professionals for medical treatment like surgery, anatomical dissection, podiatry, and various handicrafts. Surgical blades are widely used for skin and tissue incisions while doing surgical procedures. The most common type of scalpel blade used in surgery is the non-attached, replaceable blade.

• Scalpel blades are usually made up of hardened and tempered steel, stainless steel, or high-carbon steel. titanium, ceramic, diamond, and even obsidian knives are commonly used materials for scalpel. For example, when performing surgery under MRI guidance, steel blades are unusable (the blades would be drawn to the magnets and would also cause image artifacts).
• Historically, the preferred material for surgical scalpels was silver. Scalpel blades are also offered by some manufacturers with a zirconium nitride-coated edge to improve sharpness and edge retention. Others manufacture blades that are polymer-coated to enhance lubricity during a cut.
• the rapid expansion of the Medical Device & Healthcare industry, the increasing number of surgical procedures and innovations in the healthcare industry, and the rising popularity of cosmetic surgeries, plastic surgeries, accident cases, and Neurological - cardiovascular disorders mainly across developing economies estimated to boost the surgical scalpels market.

Surgical Scalpels Market Trend Analysis

Increasing in number of surgical procedures.

• More than 18,100 major plastic and cosmetic surgery actions, such as Botox and rhinoplasty, were conducted in Canada, followed by more than 9,900 internet explorations for the procedure.
• As technological advancements make procedures more appealing, the increased rate of demand has resulted in an increased interest in plastic surgery. Also, the cosmetic surgery industry booms due to advanced technological innovations that have been made to improve the quality of procedures. This is seen in the growing use of technological tools in cosmetic procedures, such as ultrasonic saws which making a rise in the surgery market.
• As per the 2022 Plastic Surgery Report of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of cosmetic surgery procedures has increased significantly which is 19% in 2022 as compared to 2019.
• Body procedures which include liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tucks), and Arm and lower body lifts showed the way to account for 25% growth in 2022 and a total of 576,485.

Integration of Digital Technologies

• Over the recent years, there has been noteworthy technical development in the healthcare industry and medical device industry. The growing number of surgery procedures is responsible for the rise in surgery Scalpels. Due to rising demand, the advancement in the scalpel also increases as many medical device companies and researchers making innovations.
• In the year 2023, Nano Surgical, LLC announced the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in scalpels to increase safety. The scalpel uses technology in a way parallel to how a tablet senses the position of a stylus, producing its electromagnetic resonant signal which can be digitally mapped to precise anatomic locations using a grid and multiple planes.
• This electromagnetic resonant scalpel allows a surgical method to be replicated remotely. It not only allows surgeons to see the precise incisions of prior surgeries but likely improves surgical care for patients in underdeveloped countries.

Surgical Scalpels Market Segment Analysis:

Surgical Scalpels Market is Segmented based on material, type, product type, and end-users.

By Type, Stainless Steel segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period

• The stainless-steel blade has well anti-corrosion properties, which makes it more suitable for a disposable scalpel because it is assembled and frequently used in less controlled environments or for procedures that use a lot of saline solution, which would immediately cause rusting.
• Stainless steel is used widely for Surgical scalpels due to its easy maintenance and resistant corrosion nature.
• It has a lot of advantages compared to other materials. It is tough to break because of its sturdy nature and corrosion-resistant properties.
• Thus, allowing the knife to be of reduced thickness, making the blade more economical. They are tremendously strong and durable. Surgical stainless steel is widely used for orthopedic procedures and operations.

By Type, Disposable segment held the largest share in 2023

• disposable blades are the type of scalpels that are discarded after just one use in surgery. Reusable scalpels have fixed blades that can be sharpened or removable single-use blades that are permanently attached.
•  Disposable scalpels typically have a plastic handle with an extensible blade and it can only be used once before becoming outdated. In most cases, scalpel blades are packaged in sterile pouches.
• Disposable scalpels are the type of scalpel that is pre-sterilized and has a fixed blade that is attached to a plastic handle of the scalpel. Disposable scalpels are sterilized with the help of Gamma radiation to a minimum dose of 25 kGy.
• They are frequently applied as they aid in preventing cross-contamination infection.
• These blades come in various shapes and sizes, including retractable razors, and safety switch scalpels.

Surgical Scalpels Market Regional Insights:

North America is Expected to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast Period

• North America dominates the scalpel market because of the increase in Breast Surgeries, Cardiovascular surgeries, Neurological surgeries, trauma conditions, and accident cases. The number of cardiac surgeries surpasses 90,000 procedures every year in the United States.
• Heart disease is the main cause of death in men as well as in women in the U.S. There are about 5000,000 open heart surgeries performed each year. Also, favorable reimbursement policies by governmental bodies within the region.
