Advancement in the design and technology of Cranial Implants improving quality of life for neuro patients

Published: Jul 2019

Cranial implants are implants required to protect intracranial structures, to restore the skull contour and to normalize the cerebral hemodynamic after cranial defects. Cranial defects are the results of accidents, injuries, malignancy, and infection. The defects greater than 3 CM in size needs cranial implant treatment. The material used in the making of cranial implants depends on the decision of surgeon, however, common materials used for the cranial implant include biocompatible materials such as titanium, polymethyl methacrylate, and porous polyethylene. Among these, titanium and titanium alloys used as a cranial implant product holds a major share in the cranial implants market, whereas the polymer will grow in the near future. The share of titanium and titanium alloys-based implants is attributable due to the high resistance of titanium against the infection which creates its demand globally.

The two categories of the cranial implant are non-customized cranial implant and customized cranial implants. The non-customized implant products are presently being used in higher number in the market. However, the customized cranial implant is now coming into use more. Various leading manufacturers are providing customized cranial implants such as Stryker Corp., Materialise NV, and Xilloc Medical B.V.  The global cranial implant market is expanding at a significant growth rate due to the increase in the number of cranial surgeries and research and developmental programs in the healthcare sector in both developed and developing countries. The rise in the prevalence of cancer and trauma cases is also creating demand for a cranial implant.

North America holds a significant share in the cranial implant market attributed to the factors such as new development favoring government policies, growth in healthcare-related technology and many more. Asia-Pacific market is also witnessing considerable growth due to the factors such as advancement in healthcare infrastructure, governments interest in the healthcare field, expansion in innovative work and research and development in the healthcare sector. The key companies operating in the global cranial implants market are KLS Martin Group, Medtronic, B. Braun Melsungen AG, Zimmer Biomet, Xilloc Medical B.V., Kelyniam Global Inc., Medartis, DePuy Synthes, Ortho Baltic, and Stryker.
