Surgical Site Infections Market

Market Overview:

The 7 major surgical site infections markets reached a value of US$ 664.9 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 1,174.5 Million by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.31% during 2024-2034.

The surgical site infections market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Surgical Site Infections Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Surgical site infections (SSI) refer to a medical condition that arises after surgery in the area of the body where the procedure was conducted. It mainly occurs due to the colonization of a surgical incision by infectious agents, such as bacteria or fungi. SSI can either be superficial, simply affecting the skin, or more serious, affecting organs, implanted materials, or tissues beneath the skin. The disease symptoms usually manifest within thirty days of a surgical operation. Some of the common indications associated with this illness include redness, pain, fever, delayed healing, tenderness, swelling, etc. Individuals suffering from the condition may also experience drainage of cloudy fluid or pus from the wound site. The diagnosis of surgical site infections typically requires a combination of the patient’s medical history, clinical features, and laboratory studies. The healthcare provider may also collect a wound swab to determine the presence of disease-causing microorganisms. Additionally, ultrasonography, which can detect abscesses within a surgical site and regulate their drainage, is utilized to confirm a diagnosis among patients.

The increasing cases of endogenous and exogenous infections caused by contamination of the operative site by microorganisms during the procedure are primarily driving the surgical site infections market. In addition to this, the rising incidence of various risk factors, including increased length of surgical duration, a weakened immune system, certain co-morbidities like diabetes and cancer, etc., is also bolstering the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of antibiotic drugs, such as cefazolin, metronidazole, vancomycin, clindamycin, etc., for treating the ailment is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. These medications prevent disease progression by destroying or slowing the proliferation of microorganisms causing the infection, thereby helping to promote wound healing. Additionally, several government bodies and non-governmental organizations are supporting numerous health education campaigns to create general awareness about preventive measures, the benefits of early diagnosis, and treatment alternatives for SSI. This, in turn, is further creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the emerging popularity of combination therapy involving nasal mupirocin and a chlorhexidine body wash, since they can optimally decolonize patients with bacterial growth and reduce the risk of microbial contamination, is expected to drive the surgical site infections market in the coming years.

Recent Developments:

• In January 2023, PolyPid Ltd. delivered a positive regulatory update for D-PLEX100's use in the prevention of abdominal surgical site infections. After a recent type D meeting with the U.S. FDA on the SHIELD I Phase 3 data, the firm now has clarity regarding the regulatory path toward a prospective New Drug Application (NDA) submission.
• In April 2023, the inaugural randomized clinical trial based on registry data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) found that modifying antibiotics prior to pancreatoduodenectomy, also known as the Whipple procedure, reduces the occurrence of surgical site infections among patients undergoing the surgery.

Key Highlights:

• SSIs occur in 2–4% of all patients receiving inpatient surgical operations.
• According to the subgroup analysis by WHO area and survey period, the incidence of SSI was 2.7% and 2.5%, respectively.
• Surgical site infections are responsible for 20% of all healthcare-associated infections and are linked to a 2-to 11-fold increased risk of mortality, with 75% of SSI-related deaths directly attributed to the infection.
• The African area has the highest prevalence (2.7%).
• In research done by the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) after collecting information from 850,000 general surgeries conducted in the United States, it was discovered that the overall incidence of SSI was equivalent to 1.9%.

Drugs:

D-PLEX100 is intended to deliver localized, sustained, and regulated anti-bacterial activity directly at the surgical site to prevent surgical site infections. Following the administration of D-PLEX100 into the surgical site, the PLEX (Polymer-Lipid Encapsulation matriX) technology combines with Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, allowing for the prolonged and continuous dissolution of the broad-spectrum antibiotic doxycycline, resulting in a high local concentration of the drug for 30 days for the prevention of SSIs, with the potential to prevent SSIs caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria at the surgical site.

XF-73 is Destiny Pharma's lead drug candidate from the XF platform. It was initially developed to prevent post-surgical staphylococcal infections, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which trigger significant complications and increase healthcare costs in the hospital setting.

E-101 solution is a new antiseptic designed for direct administration within a surgical wound to avoid surgical site infection. It is a new myeloperoxidase-mediated antibacterial made up of porcine myeloperoxidase (pMPO), glucose oxidase, glucose as the substrate, and particular amino acids in an aqueous carrier.
