The X-ray detectable gauze sponges market is set to grow significantly due to increased surgeries and chronic disease treatments, despite high costs and awareness challenges.
Gauze sponges are disposable medical devices widely used in medicine and surgery. They are used to absorb blood and other fluids as well as clean wounds. Gauze sponges are made up of gauze that made up of non-woven and cotton materials. The X-ray detectable gauze sponges are used during open wound dressing, wound packing, and minor and major surgery. Moreover, gauze sponges, with X-ray detectable material such as yarn or ribbon, are of two types, such as non-sterile and sterile, same as other gauze sponges. The above mentioned factors are expected to accelerate the X-ray detectable gauze sponges market growth.

Moreover, the growth of the X-ray detectable gauze sponges market is mainly driven by the increasing number of surgical procedures and wound closure treatments around the world. For instance, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2018, around 17.7 million surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States. Furthermore, treatment of chronic diseases often requires surgeries as surgery is the primary treatment for patients suffering from such diseases. For instance, according to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health, six in ten adults of the U.S. have a chronic disease at some point in their lives.
Thus, the demand for X-ray detectable gauze sponges is increasing with increasing incidence chronic diseases, especially in North America and the Asia Pacific, driving the X-ray detectable gauze sponges market growth. Minimally invasive surgeries limit the size of incisions required and thus reduces associated pain, wound healing time, and risk of the infection. The X-ray detectable gauze sponges are ideally made with suitable color which contrast with blood. These sponges help avoid the additional operative procedure in case a gauze sponge remains in the patient’s body after closure. Their most common use is to absorb liquids and remove debris from an open wound or other area.
However, high cost of X-ray detectable gauze sponges and lack of awareness among people in emerging countries is restraining the growth of the X-ray detectable gauze sponges market. The cost of gauze sponges is comparatively high compared to normal sponges because they come up with the material that is X-ray detectable. Moreover, the increasing prevalence of gossypibomas is another major factor driving the X-ray detectable gauze sponges market growth. A gossypiboma refers to a foreign object, such as a mass of cotton matrix or a sponge that is left behind during surgery.
