Spine Bone Stimulators Market Trends
Research and utilization of advanced materials, coupled with the incorporation of electromagnetic fields, have led to significant advancements in bone growth stimulator devices. These advancements have resulted in higher efficacy and additional advantages, consequently fuelling the demand for spine bone stimulators in the market.
- Recent advancements in spine bone stimulators have seen researchers exploring innovative materials to enhance the bone healing process. Materials such as hydroxyapatite, ceramics, bioabsorbable substances, and metals like titanium and PEEK (polyetheretherketone) have shown to be promising in preclinical studies for their safety and potential to augment bone growth.
- For example, the use of bioabsorbable materials in spinal implants has been investigated. These materials aim to offer support during the healing phase and subsequently degrade over time, potentially reducing the necessity for additional surgeries. This research into advanced materials is anticipated to drive the market growth in the field of spine bone stimulators.
- Additionally, technological advancements have paved the way for newer models of spine bone stimulators, which leverage combined magnetic fields, including capacitive coupling and inductive coupling, to provide diverse stimulation mechanisms. For example, Orthofix's SpinalStim device utilizes a combination of magnetic fields to administer 360° of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment around the fusion site, ensuring uniform penetration across tissue, bone, and fixation.
