iData’s full report suite on the U.S. market for soft tissue repair includes breast reconstruction, hernia repair, dural repair, dental soft tissue regeneration, nerve repair and cardiovascular patch repair.

The tendon reinforcement market constitutes a significant portion of the U.S. sports medicine market. Tendons have been traditionally repaired with the surgical use of suture anchoring technology to directly rejoin a torn tendon. One issue with traditional tendon repair is the incidence of re-tearing previously operated injuries. This predominantly occurs following procedures involving the repair of the shoulder’s rotator cuff tendons and the ankle’s Achilles tendon.
