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, [...]
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 [...]
Drawn from the MedMarket Diligence report, "Spine Surgery: Products, Technologies, Markets & Opportunities, Worldwide, 2008-2017." A traditional, “open” surgical spine procedure typically involves the surgeon making a long incision, from either an anterior or posterior approach, dissecting and retracting layers of tissue as needed to provide both visualization and access to the affected area. For [...]
Spinal fusion is still considered the gold standard for treatment of low back pain due to degenerative disc disease, but it may not hold that title for much longer. Holding spinal fusion as the optimal treatment was based on the assumption that a degenerated spinal segment is either unstable or moves outside of the normal [...]
In the global market for spine surgery products/technologies, there is a progressive caseload shift away from spine fusion and toward alternative technologies are less invasive, provide more flexibility in the spine, minimize pain, and/or provide other benefits. Accordingly, spine fusion revenues are expected to be flat as bone graft substitutes, total disc replacement and vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty [...]
Spine fusion revenues are expected to be flat as bone graft substitutes, total disc replacement and vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty begin to replace some spinal fusion procedures. Nucleus replacement, a market in its infancy, will also be increasing during the period covered in this study, but will remain a relatively modest sub-segment of the entire market. The chart [...]
Data is drawn from Report #M510, “Spine Surgery: Products, Technologies, Markets & Opportunities, Worldwide, 2008-2017,” published by MedMarket Diligence, LLC. Spine surgery represents a relatively unique medical technology market, in an era of declining margins and overall cost containment, that is both device-intensive and demonstrating aggressive growth. For the sake of illustration, below is [...]
