(PharmaNewsWire.Com, January 13, 2017 ) The suture anchor is fixation devices used to fix ligament or tendon to bones. The suturing technique is used for thousands of years as a method of repairing tissue wounds. The technique and material used in suturing have evolved resulting in the better strengthening and healing of wounds. The postoperative appearance of the wound entirely depends on upon the correct technique performed and executed. The poor incision to skin, inadequate damage or excessive removal of skin or tissue results in a limited option of wound closure. The choice of suture technique depends on location of the wound, type of skin, degree of tension and desired appearance
Suture anchors can be used for many different surgeries, which requires fixation of tissue to bone. It forms a junction between the bone and the suture material, in which anchor to suture is used to fix soft tissues to bones. This device can also be utilized for a different application such as bladder neck suspension but is mainly used for shoulders. They also have great value in treating reconstruction of the rotator cuff, arthroscopic surgery, acetabular labrum defects and breakage in tendon biceps. The cost of these devices in the market has encouraged production of different type of anchor with various material, shape, size, mechanism and indication. The removal of dead skin, repairing the natural contour and minimum scar in the body is also an important factor to be considered for results.
Suture Anchor Device Market: Drivers and Restraints
The global market for Suture Anchor Device market is expected to be driven by the advancement in technology. The key drivers of the market are the increasing cases of sports injuries, growing ageing population and increase in obese population causing orthopedic injuries. According to the HCup report in 2012, there are some 113.3 procedures performed per 100,000 inhabitants on muscles and tendons in inpatient facilities of US. Moreover, the increasing healthcare expenditure and the unavailability of substitutes for the soft tissue is also acting as a fuel to the market and is expected to drive the market within the forecast period of 2016-2026. However, the high cost of the surgical procedures, strict regulations and the lack of reimbursement can be the restraint for the growth of this market.
Suture Anchor Device Market: Segmentation
The Suture anchor device market is classified on the basis of indication, product type, end user and geography.
Based on the Indication, the global Suture anchor device market is segmented into the following:
Orthopedic Surgery
General Surgery
Based on product type, the global Suture anchor device market is segmented into the following:
Absorbable
