Orthopedic Bone Cement and Casting Materials Market Exhibits a Stunning Growth Potentials | DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., Zimmer Holdings, Inc., Smith

 

For more than half a century, bone cement has been regularly utilised to strengthen artificial joints. By filling the area between the prosthetic and the bone, bone cement gives elasticity. The fact that the human hip is exerted on 10-12 times by body weight supports the need for bone cement. The stresses operating on hips should be absorbed by bone cement to ensure the safety of artefacts.

An orthopaedic cast is a plaster shell that encases a limb to keep a broken bone in place until it heals completely. It immobilises the fractured bone to aid healing and support bone alignment. During an internal fixation surgery, bone cements are used to reinforce bone stability. Wrist joint replacement, tibia alignment, femoral head prosthesis anchoring, and hip replacement or fixation surgery are all examples of orthopaedic applications where bone casting and biomaterials are used.

The orthopaedic bone cement and casting materials market is divided into two categories based on the materials used in the cast and bone cement. Plaster or fibreglass casts with cotton embedded in them give padding around the bones. Cotton bandages are blended with plaster of Paris to make plaster bandages (calcined gypsum).

Synthetic materials, such as woven fibreglass bandages impregnated with polyurethane and thermoplastic bandages, are currently in use. These casts come in a variety of lengths and styles to fit the application.

The orthopaedic bone cement and casting material market is also broken down by geography, with North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World all receiving attention. The orthopaedic bone cement and casting materials market is predicted to grow rapidly, especially in countries like India and China, due to an ageing global population and the presence of untapped potential.

The orthopaedic bone cement and casting materials market is driven by factors such as an ageing population leading to an increase in joint problems, an increasing number of people suffering from obesity, a shift toward junk and non-nutritious food leading to weaker bones, and continuous development in the field of healthcare.

In countries like India, China, Russia, Brazil, and South Africa, where there is a large pool of underserved patients and a lack of supporting healthcare infrastructure, the orthopaedic bone cement and casting material market has a lot of potential. Furthermore, the development of goods with additional features such as a drug reservoir, improved fatigue strength, and increased x-ray visibility will be pursued.

Some of the key players in orthopedic bone cement and casting materials market are DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., Zimmer Holdings, Inc., Smith & Nephew Plc,  Stryker Corporation, Biomet, Inc. and Orthofix International N.V.
