The sternal closure systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.43 billion in 2025 to $2.58 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing volume of open-heart surgeries, rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, adoption of median sternotomy procedures, improvements in cardiothoracic surgical techniques, availability of advanced biocompatible materials.
The sternal closure systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.27 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for enhanced sternal stability solutions, rising adoption of minimally invasive cardiac surgeries, increasing focus on reducing post-operative complications, expansion of cardiac care infrastructure, advancements in closure device design. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of rigid plate-based closure systems, rising preference for titanium and PEEK materials, growing use of reinforced sternal fixation techniques, expansion of infection-resistant closure solutions, enhanced focus on post-surgical stability and recovery.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the sternal closure market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are conditions that last a year or longer, limit daily activities, require ongoing medical care, or both. Conditions such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, and heart failure often require surgical procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or valve replacement. As these surgeries involve sternal incisions, effective sternal closure becomes essential. For example, in April 2024, Allergy UK, a UK-based national charity, reported that over 21 million people in the UK were affected by allergies, making it the most commonly reported chronic condition in 2022, with projections indicating that by 2026, half of Europe’s population will experience at least one allergy. Therefore, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is fueling growth in the sternal closure market.
The increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases is also expected to support the growth of the sternal closure system market. Many cardiovascular conditions require surgeries that involve opening the sternum, and sternal closure systems are essential for properly securing the sternum postoperatively. For example, in September 2025, the British Heart Foundation, a UK-based charity, reported that over 7.6 million people in the UK - more than 4 million men and over 3.6 million women - are living with cardiovascular disease, with projections indicating that this number could rise by about 1 million by 2030 and approximately 2 million by 2040 due to aging populations and improved survival rates. Thus, the growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is driving demand for sternal closure systems.
Key companies in the sternal closure systems market are increasingly focusing on innovative products such as advanced looped-wire sternotomy fixation systems, which enhance postoperative stability, reduce complications, and improve overall outcomes in cardiothoracic procedures. These next-generation sternal closure solutions use preformed or engineered wire loops to provide secure sternum approximation. For example, in January 2023, Able Medical Devices, a US-based cardiothoracic product manufacturer, launched Valkyrie Looped Sternotomy Sutures, a stainless-steel, looped-wire design specifically developed for heart surgeries. As part of Able Medical’s strategy to improve thoracic surgery outcomes, the Valkyrie sutures offer reliable sternum closure, ensuring stability and support throughout the healing process.
Major companies operating in the sternal closure systems market are Zimmer Biomet, B Braun Melsungen AG, Medtronic PLC, Stryker Corporation, A and E Medical Corporation, KLS Martin Group, Kinamed Incorporated, Peters Surgical, Orthofix Medical Inc, Praesidia SRL, Jeil Medical Corporation, Changzhou Waston Medical Appliance Co Ltd, Ulrich GmbH And Co KG, Idear SRL, Dispomedica GmbH, Teleflex Incorporated, Grena Ltd, AtriCure Inc, Kimal PLC, MedXpert GmbH.

A sternal closure system is a medical device or method employed to securely close the sternum, the central bone in the chest that safeguards the heart and lungs. These systems play a crucial role in closing the chest, which may be opened during heart surgeries or other procedures requiring access to the chest cavity.
The primary product types of sternal closure systems encompass closure devices, bone cement, and are utilized in procedures such as median sternotomy, hemisternotomy, bilateral thoracosternotomy, among others. Sternal closure devices are specifically designed to hold the sternum together during the healing process, reducing the risk of complications and promoting a faster recovery. These devices find application in closing the sternum, or breastbone, following open-heart surgery. Common materials used in sternal closure systems include titanium, polyether ether ketone (PEEK), stainless steel, and others. The system is utilized by various healthcare facilities, including hospitals and clinics, research institutes, and other medical settings.
The sternal closure system market consists of sales of wires, hooks, and putty that are used for sternal closure procedures. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
