Market Overview:
Disposable surgical sheets are medical textiles used for surgical procedures to ensure protection against infections and post-operative complications. These sheets provide maximum absorbency and liquid repellency for surgical procedures.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the Global Disposable Surgical Sheet Market Size is the growing adoption of nonwoven sheets. Nonwoven surgical sheets are manufactured using several processes such as spunlace, needle punch, spunbond, and meltblown which offers superior fluid absorption and barrier properties as compared to woven surgical sheets. These sheets effectively absorb blood and body fluids during surgical procedures minimizing the risk of infections and delivering maximum protection to patients and healthcare providers. The non-woven structure also provides exceptional softness, strength and barrier properties.
