Artificial Disc MarketPosted by SAI987 on April 4th, 2018 The disc is a soft cushioning like structure located in between the bones of the spine, known as “vertebra.” The disc is made up of cartilage-like tissue and contains an inner portion, nucleus, and an outer portion called as annulus. In majority cases, the disc is flexible enough to allow the spine to bend. Artificial discs are synthetic replacements for damaged intervertebral discs present in the lumbar and cervical regions of the spine. In artificial disc surgery, worn or damaged disk material between the small bones in the spine (vertebrae) is removed and replaced with a synthetic or “artificial” disc. Artificial disc surgery is performed on the lower back or lumbar spine and the neck or cervical spine. The artificial discs are designed with the goal of resembling the form and function of the spine’s natural disc. The artificial disc replacement market is expected to witness robust CAGR due to increase in the prevalence of osteoporosis and surge in global geriatric population. Rise in the incidence and prevalence of degenerative diseases and increase in the demand for minimally invasive surgeries, less re-operation rate, and better clinical trial results might fuel the global artificial disc market growth over the forecast period. Furthermore, new product innovation, technological development for new products, an increase in R&D activities for multi-level artificial disc might boost the artificial disc market over the forecast period. However, high procedure cost, stringent regulatory policies, expensive devices, and unfavourable reimbursement policies might hamper the growth of artificial disc market over the forecast period.
