by Disposable surgical sheets, also known as surgical drapes or medical drapes, are sterile sheets used during surgical procedures to isolate the surgical site from other parts of the body and surrounding environment. They help prevent any bacterial contamination of the surgical site and protect both the patient and surgical team from exposure to blood and bodily fluids. Made from non-woven materials like paper, plastic and fabrics, these single-use sheets can be tailored to cover specific body parts or types of procedures. The increasing focus on infection control and prevention in healthcare settings has boosted the demand for disposable surgical sheets that offer superior barrier protection compared to reusable cloth drapes.
The global Disposable Surgical Sheet Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2.63 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
There has been a noticeable shift towards antimicrobial disposable surgical sheets integrated with silver ion coating technology. Silver ions have strong antibacterial properties and their controlled release over an extended period of time helps inhibit the growth of harmful microbes on the sheet surface throughout the procedure. Leading manufacturers are extensively investing in R&D to develop advanced silver ion coating processes. Silver ion coated disposable surgical sheets have become increasingly popular among hospitals and surgical centers due to their effective infection prevention without using harmful chemicals. As awareness about healthcare-associated infections rises, demand for these high-performance antimicrobial surgical drapes is expected to grow remarkably over the next few years.
