A surgical drape is a covering made of a disposable non-woven material and is used to cover the area of a patient. A drape usually has a fenestration (an opening) to allow the surgeon to perform the operation. It comes in various sizes depending on the type of operation for which it is used. Drapes also vary from hospital to hospital. For example, for an eye operation, a drape measuring 15 sq. in. with a fenestration measuring 3 sq. in. might be sufficient, while for open heart surgery, the largest drape manufactured, a laparotomy drape which covers the entire body is required.

Surgical drapes are used to prevent contamination of suture material and to maintain a sterile field at the surgical site. Drapes are placed on the animal once it is prepared and positioned on the surgical platform. The use of disposable drapes allows for the surgeon to cut an opening or fenestration in the drape to any size or shape.

Surgical drapes are used in operative room during surgery to cover patient’s body to eliminate the risk of surgical site contamination by separating the surgical site from the remaining part of the patient’s body, as well as from non-sterile areas of the surgical table. Surgical drapes are offered in different shapes sizes as well as therapy wise. Surgical drapes are the indispensable part of operating room and used for several applications from protecting the patient body to covering utilities. Demand for surgical drapes is increasing due to rising number of surgeries worldwide, increasing focus on infection control and rising awareness about hygiene.

The surgical gown is a principal barrier against disease transmission. High-risk procedures, as previously noted, should probably mandate the addition of a sterile sleeve over the gown's arms to prevent strike-through (i.e., penetration of moisture through protection, resulting in possible microbial transmission).

Surgical gowns must repel diseases and infections yet provide adequate freedom to move. They must allow necessary mobility without rubbing and chafing, and must resist tearing and linting. They must fit closely but not restrict movement. Since there is generally excess fabric, the gowns must withstand constant pulls on the fabric during routine movements.

These gowns must be designed to fit a diversity of body shapes and sizes with a limited range of sizes, as hospitals will only stock limited quantities. The gowns must control the bacteria released into the theater and aid in maintaining the sterile zone required for patient safety. They must provide for easy donning and doffing without contamination, yet not have openings where the barrier might be breached. Gowns must be durable enough to last the intended useful life of the garment, be that single or multi-use. They should repel fluids but ventilate the surgeon’s extreme body heat.

The purpose of a surgical gown is to reduce the transfer of bacteria from the surgical team to the patient as well as to protect the surgical team from blood and other fluids. It is therefore important that the gowns provide a protective barrier as well as being comfortable to wear.

Market Outlook

The surgical drapes and gowns market is expected to reach USD 3.14 billion by 2023 from USD 2.47 billion in 2018, at a CAGR of 4.9 percent. Factors such as the increasing number of surgeries and the growing incidence of hospital-acquired infections is driving the growth of this market. The surgical drapes segment is expected to lead the global market in 2017. Factors driving the growth of this segment include increasing adoption of surgical drapes in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers, rising number of surgeries owing to the increasing incidences of chronic diseases, and increasing demand for prevention from surgical site infection.

The disposable surgical drapes and gowns segment is estimated to grow at the highest rate. The advantages of disposable drapes over reusable drapes such as optimum barrier protection, consistent quality, and dependability are the key factors driving the growth of this segment. The hospitals segment accounted for the largest share of the global surgical drapes and gowns market in 2017. With a large number of surgeries performed in hospitals, there is a constant and high demand for surgical drapes and gowns in this end-user segment.

The global surgical drapes market is segmented by types, usability, material, end user and geography. Among the end users, the hospitals is the largest contributors in terms revenue in the global surgical drapes market. Majority of surgeries globally are performed in hospitals, even ambulatory surgery procedures are carried out in hospitals which makes hospitals the largest consumer of surgical drapes. Ambulatory surgical centers is the second biggest segment in the global surgical drapes market.

By material, market is dominated by nonwoven surgical drapes as nonwoven material is generally used in manufacturing of disposable surgical drapes. Nonwoven surgical drapes offers better comfort, breathability and barrier against micro-organisms which makes them more preferred surgical drapes. Woven surgical drapes are becoming less of choice in operating room because of their disadvantages over nonwoven, moreover they still possess potential of use in surgeries with no or less risk of surgical site infections.

The disposable surgical drapes highly contributes in terms of revenue for the growth of the global surgical drapes market. Inclusive use of disposable drapes in U.S. and increasing awareness of disposable surgical drapes in other regions is driving the market for disposable surgical drapes. Reusable surgical drapes are widely used more of low and middle income countries and therefore possess significant market share in the global market.

Increasing number of surgeries is a major factor contributing to the revenue growth of the surgical gowns market across the globe. A rapidly growing aging population in the world is also responsible for the increased number of surgeries, not only in developed regions but also in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa region due to the rise in per capita income.

Continuous innovation by surgical gown manufacturers and lucrative marketing is also expected to boost revenue growth of the global surgical gowns market. The market for surgical gowns has been an established market for a long time but there are a number of innovations in technology for increasing the efficiency of surgical gowns so that the gowns can provide better protection to patients as well as surgeons. Various options of surgical gowns are available in the market to cater to specific choices.

By product type, the disposable surgical gowns segment dominated the global surgical gowns market in revenue terms in 2016 and is projected to continue to do so throughout the forecast period. Disposable surgical gowns segment is the most attractive segment, with an attractiveness index of 5.0 over the forecast period. This segment is expected to grab about 68% market value share in 2017 and is likely to cross 70% market share by the end of 2025. Owing to the higher protection levels provided by disposable surgical gowns, these type of surgical gowns are expected to have significant adoption over reusable surgical gowns and thus exhibit comparatively higher growth over the forecast period. The reusable surgical gowns segment is expected to be the second most lucrative segment in the global surgical gowns market, with an attractiveness index of 1.4 over the forecast period.
