TechNavio today launched its report Global Cranio Maxillofacial Fixation (CMF) Devices Market 2011-2014 based on an in-depth study. The report aims to aid decision makers understand the key trends impacting the growth of this market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio™s Healthcare team said, Traditionally, all CMF implants were made out of metals or alloys, and these were impregnated into the surface of the bone to join fractures. This causes discomfort to the patients post-surgery. But the usage of bioresorbable implants overcomes this issue, as they are softer and dissolve in the body, thus eliminating discomfort. It has also been found that bioresorbable implants have improved mechanical performance. Moreover, surgeons can choose implants that will degrade at a rate suitable for the targeted application. These are bioresorbable implants, meshes or plates, and are increasingly being used for craniofacial and skull base surgery.
According to the report,it is estimated that by 2014 an average of about 24 percent of the total population will be above 60 years of age. People who are above 60 years of age often have weak bones, and are prone to fractures of their bones. Thus, the aging population is a big market for CMF devices due to their usage of implants for head-related injuries and dental problems. This driver is expected to have a strong impact on the market.
Further the report also discusses that one of the major challenges faced by the Global Cranio Maxillofacial Fixation Devices market is the complicated registration process for medical devices.
The study was carried out using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis for key players.
