The video, high-tech and integrated operating theater equipment market includes integrated and hybrid operating theater (OT) components, camera systems, image capture devices, surgical displays, PACS monitors, light sources, headlights, lighting, booms, surgery tables and surgical microscopes. High demand for OT integration will be the primary driver for all markets directly correlated, such as integration components, image capture devices, booms and lighting and surgery tables.

Industry Trends The majority of these U.S. female and neonatal diagnostic devices market segments will see stable growth throughout the forecast period of this report. The largest segment of this market was represented by breast imaging. This is primarily due to the large number of screening procedures performed with these devices, which add to the

Atherectomy is a procedure used for removing plaque deposits from arteries. They have traditionally been more effective in peripheral than coronary applications. The success of atherectomies has been driven by the limited performance of existing treatments. Often, a blockage is alleviated above the knee, only to have the blood flow deteriorate due to further bottlenecks below the knee. Failure to resolve these vascular limitations can result in critical limb ischemia, ulceration, limb pain or eventual amputation if left untreated.

The Chinese market for peripheral vascular devices includes stents, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheters, embolic protection devices, stent grafts, surgical grafts, inferior vena cava filters, diagnostic and interventional catheters, diagnostic and interventional guidewires, introducer sheaths and vascular closure devices. Several of these devices can be used for treating either coronary arterial or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), but only those used for peripheral procedures are included in this report. As a result of a general increase in peripheral procedures and their relatively low cost, the market for PTA balloons will grow rapidly in China over the 2011–2018 forecast period.

The peripheral vascular device market includes stents, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheters, embolic protection devices, stent grafts, surgical grafts, inferior vena cava filters,
diagnostic and interventional catheters, diagnostic and interventional guidewires, introducer sheaths and vascular closure devices. Several of these devices can be used for treating either coronary arterial or
peripheral arterial disease (PAD), but only those used for peripheral procedures are included in this report. Older individuals and those who are obese have a higher risk of developing PAD. As a result of the
general increase in peripheral procedures and their relatively low cost, the market for PTA balloons is expected to grow rapidly in India over the forecast period.

The peripheral vascular device market includes stents, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheters, atherectomy devices, embolic protection devices, stent grafts, surgical grafts, IVUS catheters, inferior vena cava filters, diagnostic and interventional catheters, diagnostic and interventional guidewires, introducer sheaths and vascular closure devices. Several of these devices can be used for treating either coronary arterial or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), but only those used for peripheral procedures are included in this report. Older individuals and those who are obese have a higher risk of developing PAD. As a result of the general increase in peripheral procedures and the development of new lower-limb treatments, the market for products such as atherectomy devices is expected to grow rapidly in Japan over the 2011–2018 forecast period.

Healthy joints are vital to an active lifestyle; however, aging, obesity and overuse tend to increase joint deterioration. Two major factors determining the health of joints are the integrity of the bones making up the joint and the quality of joint articulation. A significant deficiency in either aspect can lead to the decision to replace the joint. Bone is primarily made up of the mineral calcium, and although bone is hard and strong, it is also considered a living tissue of the body. This means that bone is not static but is constantly being replenished and drawn upon by the body as a part of natural human physiology. For instance, calcium is drawn upon by the body for many cellular processes that are essential to life.

Japan has a population of roughly 127 million and a GDP of $4.7 trillion and has a very large and growing elderly population. This characteristic is the main driver of procedures and thus market growth in the country. Due to the large elderly population, the government closely regulates reimbursement rates and thus affects the average pricing of medical devices. This typically results in decreasing product prices.

Reconstructive implants are grouped into four broad categories: primary (total) replacement, partial replacement, resurfacing and revision.
Total joint replacement (TJR) involves replacing both sides of the natural joint. These devices are the most frequently used reconstructive procedures in the United States.
Partial joint replacements restore one side or a portion of the joint. These procedures have the advantage of preserving more bone and soft tissue but have historically been prone to a higher complication rate than total joint replacements. Partial replacement, also known as hemiarthroplasty, provides an alternative to joint fixation, or arthrodesis, in some instances of skeletal trauma.
Joint resurfacing attempts to preserve as much of the original bone stock as possible by placing a cap over the diseased joint surfaces. The cap is anchored by a short stem within the bone. These procedures are performed more frequently in younger patients, as the preservation of bone stock allows for better outcomes when the implant is eventually replaced later in life.
Revision implants are not a specific product type but refer to the replacement of implanted devices that have either reached the end of their useable lifespan or have become loosened through trauma or pathology. This may entail either the replacement of part of the implant or the entire implant. In general, revision implants require longer stems to anchor in the bone. Conservative estimates indicate that 15 years is an appropriate lifespan to expect from an implant regardless of its construction or method of fixation; however, newer devices are likely to exceed that time frame.
If anything, the trend towards younger patients has meant that the market has been even more mindful of preparing for the eventuality of revision because of the increased average lifespan for these surgical candidates.
Implants are subject to their own wear issues. Regardless of the type of construction, there are some basic safety concerns. Like the cartilage that it replaces, the articulating material is subject to wear. The concern remains with debris generation. While the material itself is inert, the body’s immune response to stray fragments creates the potential for osteolysis, the destruction of bone. There are similar concerns with devices using hard-on-hard articulating surfaces, as early ceramic materials were prone to chipping.
