U.S. Spinal Non-Fusion Technologies Market
Frost & Sullivan, Aug 2008, Pages: 81
This research service covers the spinal non-fusion technologies market in the United States. The market has been analyzed based on spinal implants such as artificial discs, nucleus replacement devices, dynamic stabilization devices, devices for annulus repair and facet repair. Market dynamics, revenue forecasts, analysis and the competitive landscape have been discussed for the segments mentioned above.
Establishment of Long-term Efficacy Vital for Growth of Spinal Non-fusion Technologies
Spinal fusion procedures are gradually giving way to non-fusion methods, as healthcare providers have begun to realize the latter’s potential to revolutionize and expand treatment options for spinal pathologies. These motion-preserving technologies involve the concept of early medical intervention in young patients and augment surgeons’ choice of treatment offering as well as improve patients’ quality of life. 'However, despite providing an attractive arena for growth, it has to be noted that many segments within the non-fusion technology market are still only emerging and need to undergo significant testing to create a mark,' says the analyst of this research. 'Also, the limited clinical data surrounding non-fusion technologies raises speculation with regards to long-term efficiency.'
Manufacturers can resolve this issue by conducting clinical trials to establish long-term efficiency of their products. A wide range of devices is currently in various stages of development and clinical trials, creating a case of non-spinal fusion technologies. The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) approval of these devices will enhance market interest in them. Moreover, their versatility, efficiency, and ease of use are likely to popularize them among healthcare givers. 'Devices such as dynamic stabilization and cervical total disc replacements (TDRs) involve implantation techniques similar to the techniques that are currently in use, making their adoption lot easier and more effective,' observes the analyst. 'Further, technological advances encompassing spinal robotics and positioning systems that would ensure precise implant placement are likely to strengthen market growth.'
Subsequent focus on appropriate surgeon training and evaluation is expected to play a critical role in the successful implantation of the device and hence, in the overall clinical outcome and acceptance. Manufacturers can successfully train physicians by offering a standardized platform through a unified body, where caregivers can converge and learn about various technologies. The training could span a multitude of products and evaluate surgeons on their implantation skills and patient selection.
