Overview:
Circular staplers have major application in bariatric surgeries for obesity treatment, colectomy in colon cancer, and in oesophageal cancer surgeries namely esophagectomy. Circular staplers are utilised to carry out end to end anastomoses. The circular blade in the stapler automatically cuts off the excess tissues and clamps or seals the tissue ends together.
The demand for circular staplers is observed to be on a rise owing to the steady increase in obesity and cancer such as colorectal cancer. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) 13% of the world population are accounted to be obese. According to the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, the average bariatric surgeries performed yearly accounts to 1, 96,000. This rise in bariatric surgeries propels the demand for circular staplers which would provide complete sealing of the tissue ends in the gastric bypass surgeries.
As per the American Cancer Society colorectal cancer accounts for the third most commonly diagnosed cancers in the USA. Around 95,520 cases of colon cancer and 39,910 cases of rectal cancer were estimated in the year 2017. Colectomy is the common surgery performed in cases of colorectal cancers wherein an extent of the colon is removed. The use of circular staplers ensures complete ligation between the ends of the intestinal tissues. The constant rise in colon cancer would fuel the demand for circular staplers and lead to its positive growth in the future.
The aforementioned prevalence’s, continuous change is lifestyle behaviour and rise in geriatric population propels the growth of circular staplers market in the current period and in the future.
Circular staplers are available in the market either as reusable devices or disposable devices. The reusable devices are made of stainless steel and uses disposable stapler cartridges. The devices is then sterilised post-surgical use. This kind of devices provides lesser surgical waste. The disposable stapler device are patient specific and are disposed of after a surgical use. The reusable devices are predominant in demand in the circular stapler market owing to its higher cost-efficiency in comparison to the disposable device.
