Rising Incidence of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) Drives Middle East & Africa Preoperative Infection Prevention & Wound Cleansing Device Market Growth

Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is the most common nosocomial infection and a common side effect of gastrointestinal surgery. Gastrointestinal surgical procedures and wound closure methods influence the occurrence of superficial wound infections. There has been a rapid increase in simple incisional SSI infection cases than in deep incisional SSI and organ or space SSI cases. SSIs are treated with antibiotics; however, sometimes, additional procedures are needed to treat the infection. The rising geriatric population with compromised immunity and the increasing surgical procedures across Middle East & Africa fuel the incidence of SSIs, which drives the growth of the Middle East & Africa preoperative infection prevention & wound cleansing device market . SSIs place a significant clinical and economic burden on patients and the healthcare system due to increased morbidity, mortality, and hospital expenses. Prevention of SSIs requires surveillance activities leading to effective mitigation strategies. According to the CDC guidelines, SSI is classified into superficial incisional SSI, internal deep incisional SSI, and organ SSI. Contamination levels and surgical techniques have been identified as strong predictors of SSI occurrence. According to the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality, SSIs occur in ~2 to 4% of all the patients that undergo inpatient surgical procedures. SSIs are the leading cause of readmission to the hospital after surgery, and about 3% of the patients that acquire SSIs die. Owing to the rising number of SSIs cases, the need for preoperative infection prevention is growing as hospitals and healthcare centers are opting for preoperative infection prevention procedures to prevent SSIs. .
