Stapling Devices Capture the Largest Market Share in the Overall Market
- Stomach stapling is a technique used to either section off or seal the part of the stomach that remains after the other portion is removed. Procedures that utilize stapling include Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass, duodenal switch, and gastric sleeve surgery. Stomach stapling should be considered permanent, as compared to other methods, like lap-banding and gastric ballooning.
- It tends to result in greater and more consistent weight loss among patients, along with a greater reduction in obesity-related health problems. The procedures, like vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) and vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG), are mostly laparoscopic procedures and are most preferred. Thus, the market for staples is expected to show significantly higher growth, as compared to other devices used in bariatric surgeries.
