Ligation devices are an important and expanding market in the UK. They include metal ligating clips, polymer ligating clips and clip appliers, as well as energy-assisted ligation systems. The Global Economy continued to experience rapid growth through 2023. Several factors are driving growth; toward new, larger volume surgical operations due to greater surgical demand due to an aging population. There is also a greater acceptance of minimally invasive surgical procedures, which have become more popular because of their better outcomes for patients. There has been continued development of this device market due to increased hospital capacity (fewer hospitals closed), further cost-savings initiatives by procurement departments in hospitals (centralization), increasing emphasis on cost-effective, high quality surgical consumables and continued competition between local/regional small manufacturers and multi-national companies providing ligation device products. Growth in volume of surgeries has continued at a very rapid pace, with increasing rates for acceptance of newer advanced, ergonomic designs and energy-assisted ligation products. We expect to see strong growth in this device category based on innovation and the development of "smart" surgical tools, digital integration, and disposable/single use products.Growth in this device category is based on innovation and the development of “smart” surgical tools, digital integration, and disposable/single-use products.

The UK is transitioning to a domestic regulatory framework for medical devices managed by the MHRA following Brexit, aiming to strengthen safety, improve access to innovative technology, and modernise approval routes. Ongoing reforms include potential international recognition of approvals and streamlined post-Brexit rules that replace EU oversight with UK-specific regulation.
