Post-surgery shirts prioritize patient recovery through accessible front openings, soft breathable fabrics, and discreet designs that support mobility without straining incisions. LSLONG’s specialized OEM/ODM production delivers these essential garments with precision engineering, ensuring comfort, durability, and scalability for medical brands worldwide.
What Challenges Define the Current Post-Surgery Apparel Market?
The global medical apparel market, including post-surgery garments, reached USD 25.6 billion in 2024 and projects growth to USD 38.2 billion by 2030 at a 6.8% CAGR (Grand View Research, 2024: https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/medical-apparel-market). Rising surgical volumes—over 310 million procedures annually worldwide—drive demand (WHO, 2023: https://www.who.int/).
Yet, brands face acute pain points. Supply chain delays affect 65% of manufacturers, inflating costs by 18-25% amid raw material shortages. Patients report discomfort from rigid designs, with 42% experiencing irritation from non-breathable fabrics.
Customization lags further compound issues. Standard hospital gowns fail recovery needs, leading to 30% higher readmission risks due to poor mobility support. OEM providers struggle with inconsistent sizing and certification compliance.
Sustainability gaps persist too. Only 28% of medical textiles meet eco-standards, despite 70% of healthcare buyers prioritizing them (McKinsey State of Fashion, 2025: https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/retail/our-insights/state-of-fashion).
Why Do Traditional Post-Surgery Garment Methods Underperform?
Conventional production uses multi-supplier chains, yielding:
Lead times of 70-100 days from design to delivery.
Quality variability, with 15-20% defect rates in seams and closures.
Limited fabric innovation, ignoring antimicrobial or moisture-wicking needs.
High minimum order quantities (MOQs) excluding small brands.
These force brands into overstock or stockouts, eroding margins by up to 22% while failing patient-centric demands.
