Markets for products in spine surgery show a decline in spine fusion and total disc replacement, but an increase in intraspinous process spacers and nucleus replacement. Although the exhibit below displays this only for Asia/Pacific markets, the trend is true globally. Source: Exhibit 3-107 is taken from MedMarket Diligence report #M510, "Spine Surgery: Products, Technologies, [...]
While patient concerns remain a significant driver in the development of minimally invasive techniques, technological advances in surgical instrumentation have transformed the theoretical to the practical. Advanced fluoroscopy, or x-ray imaging during surgery, has markedly improved the accuracy of incisions made and hardware placed. A variety of endoscopes, camera-tipped wands, can be inserted through small [...]
Posterior dynamic stabilization systems for use in spine surgery can be roughly divided into interspinous fixation devices and transpedicular fixation devices. Both categories include some devices that have been on the market (sometimes only in the EU) for some time, as well as new devices either still under development or under clinical testing in the US. [...]
Spine surgery technologies are many, driven by many factors. Diseases, disorders and trauma of the spine are many – and growing in prevalence with an active senior population. Conditions of the spine can severely limit the quality of life creating significant demand. Spine and orthopedic surgeons, as well as the device manufacturers, have established [...]
The global spine market is large, active and growing rapidly in revenues. Several dynamic forces, in addition to the aging of the population, are expected to affect the market and treatments during the next several years. While spinal fusion will always have a place, its share of the treatment market is expected to decline. Newer [...]
If there is a more robust area of medtech development — one with more success in creating clinical and market value while resisting pricing pressures — than spine surgery, I would be surprised. The global spine market is large, active and growing rapidly in revenues. Several dynamic forces, in addition to the aging of the [...]
