The Orthopedic Biomaterial market is a subset of the Orthopedic Devices market, which focuses on the development and use of materials to repair, replace, or support damaged or diseased bones, joints, and soft tissues. These materials are used to treat a variety of orthopedic conditions, including fractures, osteoarthritis, and spinal disorders. Orthopedic biomaterials are designed to be biocompatible, meaning they are able to interact with the body without causing harm. They are also designed to be durable and able to withstand the body's natural forces.
Common types of orthopedic biomaterials include metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Metals are often used for joint replacements, while ceramics are used for bone grafts and fracture repair. Polymers are used for soft tissue repair, while composites are used for a variety of orthopedic applications.
Notable companies in the Orthopedic Biomaterial market include Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, Smith & Nephew, DePuy Synthes, and Wright Medical. Show Less Read more
