Market Size & Growth
Key Market Drivers
Challenges
The implementation of these surgical rasps in operations in the specialized field of final prosthetics offers numerous advantages. Bone rasps are assisting surgeons to treat nasal diseases by producing smooth bones in plastic surgery and removing excess edges that can damage soft tissues. Ongoing advancements have favoured the evolution of these products that are associated with offering optimum specificity & reliability. Thus, numerous advantages related to the use of surgical rasps are anticipated to offer substantial market opportunities.
A surgical rasps or bone rasps is a surgical equipment used to sculpt bone in surgical procedures. The primary function of the bone rasp is to trim, reshape, and form bone surfaces. They provide the surgeon or other medical professionals including podiatrists, with the ability to address issues affecting bone surfaces easily and quickly. Depending upon the model and design surgical rasps are classified as double-ended and single ended.
The availability of alternative options such as osteotomes and bone chisels in plastic and orthopedic surgery can negatively impact surgical rasps market development. These alternatives are becoming increasingly reliable and widely used. Osteotomes are instruments used for cutting or preparing bone, while bone chisels are used to cut and reshape hard cortical bone. Physicians sometimes prefer these alternatives due to drawbacks associated with surgical rasps, such as mechanical and thermal damage to the bone and difficult extraction. Consequently, the market growth for surgical rasps may be limited to some extent due to the availability of these alternative options.
COVID-19 Impact
The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health concern and has led to an increased number of hospitalizations. The outbreak inflicted substantial disease burden along with financial adversities that has impacted the economy. In order to control the spread of the virus, nation-wide lockdowns and emergencies had been declared. Preserving essential health care resources was prioritized in the wake of COVID-19, starting from mid-March 2020, wherein the surgeons were instructed to perform only the essential surgical operations. Majority of the joint arthroplasty including joint replacement surgery did not meet the requirements of essential surgery. This has affected the surgical rasps market negatively.
However, intensive efforts were being undertaken by several healthcare authorities, hospitals and surgeons to restore flow of orthopedic procedures to pre-pandemic levels. Thus, in response to COVID-19, the orthopedic surgical practices were being restructured to ensure that patient receive essential care while minimal exposure to COVID19 infection. Such changes in surgical practice helped in restoring the surgical volume post COVID-19 pandemic and uplifted the business landscape.
Surgical Rasps Market Trends
Growing number of surgical procedures comprising orthopedic surgeries are leading to the high demand for surgical rasps devices. Rising geriatric population require surgical procedures to improve their quality of life. As per the Ohio State University, over 6 million bone fracture cases are reported every year in the U.S. Surgical rasps are largely applied to scrape the cartilage and many other rigid tissues that require to be filed down and have become essential devices during the orthopedic surgical procedures.
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, in 2020, over 2.2 million hip and knee procedures were performed in the U.S. The primary function of bone rasps in knee procedures is to trim, reshape, and form bone surfaces. This is one of the most demanding surgical instruments that come with multiple variations, so it’s beneficial for the surgeons to integrate such a multitasking instrument for the long-term. As a result, market players are continually focusing to develop more safe and efficient products. The introduction of technologically advanced surgical rasps has improved surgical outcomes across the globe.
Surgical Rasps Market Analysis
Based on product, the surgical rasps market is segmented as double-ended and single ended. The double-ended surgical rasps segment was valued at over USD 380 million in 2022. This high revenue share is primarily attributed to a significant increase in the preference in filing or shaping a bone or cartilage. Double-ended rasps include patterns such as nasal rasps, bone files, cottle, doyen, fomon, glabella, and diamond dusted rasps among others. For instance, tungsten carbide double-ended rasps are recommended to remove rough edges and smooth bones in nasal reconstructive procedures.
Further, some studies have shown that surgeries using double-ended surgical rasps with rounded edges prevent damage to surrounding structures. Market players are also emphasizing the designing of novel double-ended surgical rasps to meet the needs of the most demanding surgical procedures with minimal complications. Thus, the preference for innovative surgical rasps is significantly surging owing to a smart design that offers greater procedural results, inert material that minimizes foreign body response, etc.
Based on usability, the surgical rasps market is segmented as reusable and disposable. The disposable segment was valued at around USD 184 million in 2022. This significant market growth is owing to rising risk of cross-contamination and increasing awareness regarding infection control. The COVID-19 pandemic promoted the significance and use of infection control supplies owing to soaring importance of infection prevention at the healthcare facilities. Disposable surgical rasps limit the incidence of cross-contamination and transmission of pathogens during surgical procedures. Additionally, these products are intended for single use that further reduces the risk of potential infection.
Based on end-use, the surgical rasps market is segmented as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. The Hospital segment is projected to reach over USD 449 million by 2032. The soaring use of novel surgical rasps products in hospital settings delivering rapid and reliable outcomes is estimated to surge the patient preference for these healthcare facilities. The availability of a broad spectrum of technologically advanced bone fixation devices for performing these surgical procedures with proven accuracy will drive product preference in hospitals. Growing admissions with chronic bone injuries and the growing popularity of minimally invasive therapies along with the accessibility to board-certified healthcare professionals are some other variables that are augmenting the market outlook.
The U.S. surgical rasps market was valued at over USD 232 million in 2022. This majority market share is attributable to numerous variables including the presence of key market players, an increase in the number of sports injuries, cosmetic surgeries & reconstructive plastic surgeries, and rising awareness regarding minimally invasive surgical procedures among others. Recently commercialized surgical rasps allow the bone chips to escape away from the shaping area efficiently that play a crucial role in related surgical procedures.
Moreover, ongoing advancements in product development, growing healthcare expenditure, and the availability of well-equipped surgical care facilities are stimulating the product demand positively.
