Anti-Adhesion Products Market Drivers

Surging Applications Of Anti-Adhesive Products Are Projected To Drive The Growth Of the Anti-Adhesion Products Market:

Pharmaceutical Grade Hyaluronic Acid can be utilized as an API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) or excipient for drugs and medical devices in ophthalmic preparations, in-articular injections, anti-adhesive preparations, topical preparations for wound healing and soft tissue filler and more. As per some interesting statistics maintained on the website for Baxter Advanced Surgery, 20-40% of infertility cases are brought about by adhesions and adhesions are the #1 cause of secondary infertility in women. Baxter has developed ADEPT® which has been approved to decrease post-surgical adhesions in patients undergoing gynaecological laparoscopic surgery. Its rare characteristics provide a simple solution leading to superior outcomes in the OR and for the patient on the whole. As a fluid, ADEPT® is administered directly and very quickly to the site by way of a laparoscopic port at the time of surgery thereby demonstrating that it is a “direct and fast-acting application”. It has extensive coverage and optimized resorption. Constituent icodextrin slows the resorption time, while regular liquids would be resorbed much quicker. As per clinical investigations, ADEPT® has a resorption rate of 3-4 days while Lactated Ringer’s Solution has a resorption rate of 24 hours. The surging applications of anti-adhesive products are therefore fuelling the growth of the Anti-Adhesion Products Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Proliferating Application Of Biomaterials To Avoid Post-Operative Adhesion Is Expected To Boost The Demand For Anti-Adhesion Products:

Abdominal adhesion happens at the surgical site owing to contact with additional sites at the time of healing and happens in greater than 90% of patients who endure abdominal surgery. Anti-adhesion barriers are mostly developed by utilizing biomaterials. Numerous investigations have used different biomaterials and technologies to develop anti-adhesion barriers. These anti-adhesion biomaterials have superior biocompatibility and biodegradability and can be categorized as either natural or synthetic polymers. Natural polymers are extracted from natural materials and animals (inclusive of humans) and display superior biocompatibility. Gelatin and polysaccharide-based polymers like alginate and hyaluronic acid (HA) are typically utilized as anti-adhesion barriers. Hyaluronic acid has been extensively utilized in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. HA has a good swelling ability and biocompatibility. Additionally, utilizing HA is beneficial owing to its mechanical characteristics being regulated by way of cross-linking reactions. Synthetic polymers that can be used in the body are typically biocompatible and need to be biodegradable Classic biodegradable synthetic polymers, the polyester-based polymers, involve polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), and poly-caprolactone (PCL). The proliferating application of biomaterials to avoid post-operative adhesion is therefore driving the growth of the Anti-Adhesion Products Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Anti-Adhesion Products Market Challenges

Disadvantages Of Biomaterials Used For Developing Anti-Adhesion Barriers Are Hampering The Growth Of The Anti-Adhesion Products Market:

As per statistics maintained on the website for Baxter Advanced Surgery, 34.5% of patients are re-admitted owing to adhesions. Disadvantages of anti-adhesion barriers are associated with the limitations of the biomaterials utilized. Anti-adhesion biomaterials are of two different kinds namely natural and synthetic polymers. The limitation of natural polymers is that it is challenging to keep them up in the body for an expanded duration owing to their poor physical characteristics. Presently, there are nil products that can entirely avoid tissue attachment at surgical sites. Therefore, numerous investigations have been conducted to conquer the limitations of existing anti-adhesion barriers and to establish novel efficient anti-adhesion barriers. Non-fibrous films are acquired by way of electrospinning. Electrospinning can be utilized for numerous polymers, however, toxic solvents are at times utilized, symbolizing a limitation. These issues are thus hampering the growth of the Anti-Adhesion Products Market.
