Weigao Group's southern manufacturing base officially started construction

On December 27, 2020, the southern manufacturing base of China Weigao Group officially started construction in Zhanggong District, Jiangxi Province, and the Weigao Medical Industrial Park was also officially unveiled. The official start of construction of the southern manufacturing base of China Weigao Group is another important result of Ganzhou City's promotion of the Project Construction Acceleration Year activities and accelerating the high-quality development of Qingfeng Medicine Valley. After the project is completed, it will effectively fill the city's shortcomings in high-end medical equipment production and enhance the modernization level of the industrial chain and supply chain. The Weigao Southern Manufacturing Base Project is positioned as Weigao Group's largest production base in the south. It has a positive impact on Weigao's expansion of production bases outside the province, supplying products to Jiangxi and surrounding provinces, reducing long-distance logistics costs, and promoting the development of Jiangxi's medical industry. The project covers an area of 500 acres with a total investment of 5 billion yuan. It mainly produces medical facilities for wards and operating rooms, hemodialysis equipment and high-value consumables, pharmaceuticals and functional foods, orthopedic materials, etc.

Medical catgut, and collagen sutures are substitutes for PGA suture products.

PGA Suture is subject to a certain threat of substitutes. As a type of absorbable medical suture, PGA Suture is not the only material for sutures. Common absorbable sutures also include catgut and other polymeric sutures. Medical catgut is divided into two types: ordinary catgut and chromium catgut. Ordinary catgut is an easily absorbable suture made from sheep or cow intestinal submucosa tissue. The gut is absorbed quickly, but the tissue response to the gut is slightly greater. It is mostly used for ligating blood vessels in subcutaneous tissue and suturing infected wounds in tissues that heal quickly. It is generally used on mucous membranes such as the uterus and bladder. Chrome gut is gut treated with chromic acid, which slows tissue absorption and causes less inflammation than regular gut. It is generally used in gynecological and urinary system surgeries and is the suture often used in kidney and ureteral surgeries, because other threads may promote the formation of stones. Other polymers used in absorbable sutures are glycolide-lactide copolymer (PGLA) and polydioxanone (PDS). In addition, pure bioprotein sutures are also being developed, such as absorbable collagen sutures. Collagen sutures have faster absorption properties and do not cause an inflammatory reaction due to the structure of the material. There is some overlap in the use of these types of absorbable sutures, and they are influenced by accessibility and physician and patient preferences. Therefore, substitutes may limit the development of the PGA Suture industry to a certain extent.

Region Overview:

North America is projected to account for a considerable share of the PGA Suture market and is expected to become the largest region by 2028.

Company Overview:

Johnson & Johnson is one of the major players operating in the PGA Suture market, holding a share of 55.27% in 2023.

Johnson & Johnson develops consumer products, medical devices and pharmaceuticals.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, Undyed Type segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2022.
The color of the dyed sutures is used as an indication to distinguish between different anatomical structures. This color improves their visibility, even though they are soaked in blood. In contrast, undyed threads have the advantage of being less visible and more hidden, making them more suitable for use in eye surgery or skin sutures.

Application Overview:

By application, the Surgery segment occupied the biggest share from 2018 to 2022.

Surgery As a kind of absorbable suture, PGA suture can not only provide necessary strength support for the healing of surgical incision and wound, but also prevent rejection, non-infectious inflammation and other adverse reactions in the body through degradation and absorption, and avoid secondary damage to human tissues caused by suture removal, so it is widely used in surgical operations.

Obstetrics and Gynecology The three main wound sutures in obstetrics and gynecology surgery are abdominal incision, uterine incision and perineal incision. The use of absorbable sutures has greatly optimized the surgical process and postoperative rehabilitation, and has obvious clinical advantages, and is feasible and necessary for clinical promotion. Therefore, PGA sutures are often used in obstetrics and gynecology.
