DePuy SmartSet Bone Cement - SmartSet HV Bone Cement, 40G, High-Viscosity - USD 400-500, Spineplex - Bone Cement 20 g Twin Pack (One-Half Dose) – USD 700-800, Palacos Bone Mixing Cements by Heraeus Medica - USD 800-900
OPPORTUNITY: Rising awareness and demand for minimally invasive procedures
Minimally invasive surgeries offer benefits such as smaller incisions, reduced scarring, and faster recovery times. There is an increasing demand for minimally invasive orthopedic procedures, and bone cement and glue play a crucial role in these techniques. Opportunities exist for the development of specialized bone cement and glue products tailored for minimally invasive approaches. Minimally invasive procedures often result in reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster rehabilitation compared to traditional open surgeries. This can lead to improved patient satisfaction and outcomes. The use of appropriate bone cement and glue products in these procedures contributes to the overall success and effectiveness of the treatment.
- As per the PubMed 2022, Ambulatory Minimally invasive surgeries MIS procedures showed an increasing trend across years, representing 16.9%, 17.4%, and 18%, respectively. Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUPNet) data revealed an increase in inpatient MIS cases from 529,811 (8.9%) in 1993 to 1,443,446 (20.7%) in 2014.
- As per the Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. 2023 (US), through more than 10 million surgeries, Intuitive has become a leader in surgical robotics, increasing the adoption of minimally invasive surgery.
Minimally invasive procedures can be cost-effective compared to traditional open surgeries. They may result in lower healthcare resource utilization, reduced hospitalization costs, and quicker return to daily activities and work. Bone cement and glue products that support minimally invasive approaches align with the cost-saving goals of healthcare systems and providers. For instance, As per the article published in musculoskeletal key 2020, health care costs were nearly 18% of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), with the cost of surgical care was approximately 7% of GDP. The patients with Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS-TLIF), the mean length of postoperative hospital stay was 3 days. The mean total in-hospitalization cost for these patients was USD 23,000. Each 1-day reduction in the length of stay results in a direct cost savings of USD 1,500. On the other hand, patients with open-TLIF, the mean length of postoperative hospital stay was 4 days. The mean total in-hospitalization cost for these patients was USD 25,000.Hence, the rising awareness and demand for minimally invasive procedures have a positive impact on the bone cement and glue market.
CHALLENGE: Product-related complications.
While bone cement and glue products are generally safe and effective, like any medical intervention, they can be associated with certain complications. Here are some potential complications associated with bone cement and glue:
- Infection: Infection is a possible complication following the use of bone cement and glue. Although efforts are made to maintain a sterile surgical environment, there is still a risk of bacterial contamination during the procedure or post-operatively. Infection can lead to implant loosening, prolonged healing, and the need for additional treatments or surgeries.
- Allergic reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to components of bone cement or glue, such as methacrylate monomers. Allergic reactions can manifest as localized inflammation, skin rashes, or more severe systemic reactions. Careful evaluation of patient history and selection of appropriate materials can help mitigate the risk of allergic reactions.
- Cement leakage: During the application of bone cement, there is a possibility of cement leakage into surrounding tissues or blood vessels. Cement leakage can lead to complications such as nerve impingement, embolism (if cement enters the bloodstream), or tissue damage. Proper surgical technique and monitoring can help reduce the risk of cement leakage.
- Implant loosening: Although bone cement is used to secure implants, there is still a possibility of implant loosening over time. Factors contributing to implant loosening include improper technique, poor bone quality, excessive weight-bearing, or inadequate cement fixation. Implant loosening may require revision surgery to address the instability and ensure long-term implant function.
- Adverse tissue reactions: Some individuals may experience adverse tissue reactions to bone cement or glue. These reactions can manifest as chronic inflammation, granuloma formation, or hypersensitivity reactions. The incidence of such reactions is relatively rare, but they can result in discomfort, implant failure, or the need for further interventions.
- Thermal necrosis: During the polymerization process of bone cement, heat is generated, which can potentially cause thermal necrosis (tissue damage due to excessive heat) in surrounding tissues. This risk is mitigated by proper cement handling, cooling techniques, and careful monitoring during the procedure.
