Market Definition
Bone flap fixation system provides secure cranial fixation upon implantation and absorbs into the body over a period of 24 to 36 months. Bone flap fixation system supports the osseointegration of cranial flaps in both pediatric and adult patients.
Global cranial flap fixation market is estimated to reach $XX million by 2026; growing at a CAGR of 7.8% till 2026.
Market Dynamics
The rising prevalence of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and brain tumor has boosted the demand for cranial flap fixation devices. Cranial Flap Fixation devices are used in various procedures such as Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs), craniotomy for tumor removal, cerebrovascular disorders and other neurodegenerative disorders. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), in 2018, more than 27 million new cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI) were diagnosed globally. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 2.8 million Americans suffer from traumatic brain injury of which 282,000 are hospitalized each year. According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Sports and recreational activities contribute around 21% of all traumatic brain injury (TBI) among American children and adolescents. In the European Union, around 1.5 million people are hospitalized due to traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), around 85% to 90% of brain tumors are primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Further, the rising incidence of road accidents has propelled the market growth. Head injuries are increasing with the rise in road accidents. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, globally, around 34 million people are injured due to road accidents every year. Around 1.17 million people die due to road accidents, of which 70% of accidents occur in developing countries. In European countries, around 50,000 people died due to road accidents of which maximum had head traumas. Further, technological advancements in cranial flap fixation is a key driving factor of the market. However, risks associated with the cranial flap fixation device might hamper market growth. The defaults in the cranial flap fixation device can lead to the damage of human health. For instance, MAYFIELD Infinity XR2 Base Unit is used to support a patient during diagnostic examination and surgical procedures where rigid support between surgical table and headrest, or skull clamp is necessary. MAYFIELD Infinity XR2 Base Unit has been recalled as there is a potential for the knob assembly in the swivel adapter to fracture or break during use. Moreover, rising investment and funding for cranial flap fixation would provide lucrative opportunities for the market in the coming years.
Market Segmentation
The global cranial flap fixation market is mainly classified based on type, material type, and application. Type is further segmented into Cranial Plate, Cranial Screw, Cranial Clamp, Cranial LOOP, and Cranial Mesh. By material type, the market is divided into Titanium Alloy, Ceramics, Polymers, and Others. By application, the market is further divided into Hospitals and Surgical Centers.
Cranial Plate was dominating the global cranial flap fixation market in 2019, owing to the commercialization of regulatory approved cranial flap fixation, the collaboration between companies to develop and market cranial flap fixation, and the technological advancement in cranial flap fixation devices. The companies are developing new innovative technology for cranial flap fixation. For instance, Longeviti Neuro Solutions has introduced ClearFit implant solution. Longeviti’s ClearFit is patient-specific, implantable prosthetic plates to correct and restore bony voids or defects of the cranium. The ClearFit uses a patient’s CT scans and a novel 3D-printing process to ensure a precise fit and restorative contour.
Regional Analysis
Based on geography, the global cranial flap fixation market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. North America is further divided in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, whereas Europe consists of the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Rest of Europe. Asia-Pacific is segmented into India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific. The South America region includes Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South America, while the Middle East & Africa is categorized into GCC Countries, Egypt, South Africa, and Rest of Middle East & Africa.
North America was dominating the global cranial flap fixation market in 2019, due to the technological advancement in cranial flap fixation device, rising investment in developing cranial flap fixation device, and commercialization of cranial flap fixation. For instance, DePuy Synthes has introduced Trumatch titanium 3D-printed implants designed for use in facial reconstructions in the US. The company’s 3D-printer and software solution offers advanced technologies for facial reconstruction, orthognathic surgery, distraction and cranial reconstruction.
Competitive landscape
Key players operating in the cranial flap fixation industry include Medtronic, B. Braun, Johnson & Johnson, Stryker, Jeil Medical Corporation, Zimmer Biomet, NEOS Surgery, Integra LifeSciences Corporation, OsteoMed, Kinamed Incorporated, Changzhou Huida Medical Instrument Co., Ltd., and evonos GmbH & Co. KG.
The agreement between companies to develop and market cranial flap fixation device, the launch of technologically advanced cranial flap fixation device, and rising investment and increasing funding by the government organizations to the companies are some of the strategies adopted by the major companies. For instance, on May 5, 2020, LaunchPad Medical, Inc. has received $2.5 million funding for Direct-to-Phase-2 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to advance the development of Tetranite, a bone adhesive biomaterial technology, to improve cranial flap fixation procedures. The product is expected to enhance bone healing, reduce infection rates, and improve the outcome of these procedures for patients while eliminating the need for metal fixation hardware.
