Thre is an article by Medillligence that they issued called

" Consolidation.competition on the rise in sealant
glue and anti -adhesion market"

where they state that the market for surgical closure and securment is entering a new phase in which the major driving forces are the introduction of new procedures and techniques
by the development of new wound closure devices and bio materials and the willingness of surgeons to use these devices
in the appropriate circumstances

Worldwide medical devices sales have surpassed $173 Billion
in 2006.

In the field of tissue repair and surgical securement
the market reache dalmost $ 7 Billion.

The tissue repair and securement is a benchmark indicator
for overall expansion of medical device usage.

This is becuase surgical closure and securement products are becoming components of surgical procedures

There are over 70 Million procedures worldwide

23 Million are created surgical procdures in the U.S.

There are 3 billion procedures world t receive sealant
products genaerating $1 Billion in sales.

The market potential driven by these volumes is in excess of
$3 Billion for these sealant products for hemostats and sealants and over $1 Billion for skin wound closure using
high strength glue
