The global Surgical Sponge market size was US$ 2463 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 3123 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
A surgical sponge is a specialized sponge or pad used in surgery. Also known as a lap sponge, a surgical sponge is used to absorb liquids from a surgical site. It may be used in combination with suction to keep a surgical site clear, by a surgeon working to control bleeding, and in a number of other applications. Like other things used in surgery, sponges are designed to be sterile; they come in their own sterile packaging and can be safely autoclaved. They are generally disposable and discarded after surgery in biohzard containers which hold other disposable surgical instruments and equipment.
Europe is the largest region of Surgical Sponge, with a market share about 30%, followed by North America and Asia-Pacific, etc. Medtronic, Molnlycke, BSN medical, Medline and Cardinal Health are the top 5 manufacturers of industry, and they had about 30% combined market share.
