The Cardiac Sutures Market comprises suturing materials specifically designed for cardiac and cardiovascular surgical procedures. These sutures are used in open-heart surgeries, valve repairs and replacements, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), congenital heart defect (CHD) repair, and vascular anastomosis.
Cardiac sutures must withstand high pressure, provide strong knot security, minimize tissue damage, and offer excellent biocompatibility. They are available in absorbable and non-absorbable formats and come in various materials such as polypropylene, polyester, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and advanced synthetic polymers.
Rising cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence, growing surgical volumes, and advancements in minimally invasive cardiac procedures are contributing to market growth.
