Global Single-Use Surgical Instruments Market Report Segmented by Product Type (Handheld, Electrosurgical, Endoscopic), Application (Neurosurgery, Plastic & Reconstructive, Wound Closure, Orthopedic), End-user (Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, ASCs) Forecast to 2030

The global single-use surgical instruments market is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~6% during the forecast period. Increased focus on infection control and patient safety, rising number of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), surge in number of surgical procedures globally and growing preference for minimally invasive surgeries, are some of the key factors driving the market growth. However, high procurement costs for single-use devices, environmental concerns, and regulatory pressure remain major restraints which may hinder the growth of the single-use surgical instruments market.

Overview

Single-use surgical instruments are medical devices intended for one time use during surgical procedures, after which they are discarded. These instruments are designed to maintain sterility, reduce the risk of contamination, and provide reliable performance across a wide range of clinical applications. Common types of single-use surgical instruments include scissors, forceps, scalpels, clamps, retractors, needle holders, and electrosurgical tools, among others. They are manufactured using high-quality materials such as stainless steel, medical-grade polymers, and composites to ensure durability and precision during use. These instruments are used across various specialties, including general surgery, orthopedic, cardiovascular, neurosurgery, gynecology, and plastic surgery.

Infection control and patient safety are driving demand for single-use surgical instruments

The increasing incidence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) remains a significant concern for global healthcare systems which is directly contributing to the rising demand for single-use surgical instruments. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1 in 10 patients worldwide acquires an HAI during care at a healthcare facility. These infections not only prolong hospital stays and increase healthcare costs but also contribute to the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Also, the WHO has reported that implementing proper infection prevention and control (IPC) measures, such as maintaining instrument sterility, can reduce HAIs by up to 70%.

Single-use surgical instruments offer a practical and effective solution by eliminating the risk of cross-contamination associated with reprocessed tools, which also aligns with global patient safety initiatives and infection prevention protocols. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in the US are also advocating for stricter sterility standards. To align with this growing emphasis on infection control, manufacturers are developing disposable surgical staplers, clips, and endoscopes designed to meet the IPC standards. This increased focus on sterility, coupled with evolving regulatory expectations, highlights the role of single-use instruments as critical components in advancing patient safety protocols across healthcare systems.

Rising surgical volumes amplify demand for single-use surgical instruments

The global volume of surgical procedures is steadily increasing, driven by aging populations, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, and broader access to healthcare services. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 300 million surgical procedures are performed each year. This growing demand for surgical care underscores the need for efficient, ready-to-use tools. While traditional reusable instruments are effective, they face challenges in high-volume environments due to the complexities of reprocessing, risks of degradation, and challenges in inventory tracking. In contrast, disposable instruments such as sutures, staplers, endoscopes, and electrosurgical devices offer consistent sterility, operational readiness, and reduced turnaround times between procedures.
