The Electrosurgery Devices Market is projected to reach $8.73 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2023 to 2030. Electrosurgery is a technique used in surgeries to control bleeding and quickly dissect soft tissues during surgeries. The electromagnetic current generates heat due to the electrical resistance of the soft tissues. The endpoints of electrosurgery vary, depending on the power used, waveform, and surgical technique, resulting in various effects on the target tissue.
Electrosurgery can be done in multidisciplinary surgical procedures, including urology, gynecology, endoscopic and laparoscopic surgeries, cardiothoracic surgery, onco-surgery, neuro & spine surgeries, ENT, ophthalmic, orthopedic, dental, maxillofacial surgery, and other general surgeries.
Growing Shift Towards Outpatient surgeries is Driving the Market Growth
The numerous advantages of electrosurgery have paved the way for its adoption in outpatient surgeries. One of its core advantages is that it allows precision cutting with limited blood loss. Electrosurgical devices reduce the length of hospital stay, drainage volume, and blood loss, thus increasing their use in outpatient surgeries. As per the November 2021 report of Bovie Medical Corporation (U.S.), 80% of all surgical procedures today use electrosurgery in the U.S., and as per the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 41 million procedures per year are conducted with the use of electrosurgical devices.
Advancements in Electrosurgical Procedures, Developments, and Discoveries Are Supporting the Market Growth
Electrosurgery has been preferred in most surgeries for its numerous benefits, including reduced surgical time, enhanced healing, minimal scarring, reduced post-operative complications like infections, pain, and swelling, less bleeding, and no need for sutures required for small skin lesions. Thus, the wide range of advantages offered by electrosurgery has expanded the applications of electrosurgery devices in different surgical procedures. Although electrosurgical devices have been in use for decades, they were restricted due to some complications like an electric shock, thermal injuries to non-targeted tissues, and the production of toxic gasses. These challenges to the preference for electrosurgery have paved the way for technological innovations. For example, using argon in electrosurgery ensures efficient and fast coagulation of heavy bleeding and large surfaces. It also effectively devitalizes tissues such as tumor tissues and is highly recommended for high perforation risk areas. In September 2022, Olympus Corporation (Japan) launched its THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw Type X single-use hybrid bipolar and ultrasonic electrosurgical instrument. The device delivers both ultrasonic and bipolar energy simultaneously used for tissue management, including dissection and hemostatic cutting in open and laparoscopic surgeries.
