Cranial Stabilization Devices Market - 2023-2030

Cranial Stabilization Devices Market - 2023-2030

Global cranial stabilization devices market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Cranial stabilization devices are instruments used during neurosurgery to stabilize the patient's head and skull. They are essential in making sure the patient's head stays still and immobile throughout the process. During surgery, cranial stabilization devices are utilized to keep the patient's head still. Maintaining accuracy and safety during neurosurgery procedures depends on this steadiness.

Specialized stabilizing devices are becoming more and more necessary as cranial procedures become more precise and successful due to ongoing technological breakthroughs like 3D printing and computer-assisted surgical navigation systems. The market is expanding as a result of increased patient and healthcare professional knowledge of the advantages of cranial stabilizing devices for improved surgical results.

Market Dynamics: Drivers

The increasing focus on neurosurgery procedures

The diagnosis, management and rehabilitation of disorders affecting the nervous system which includes the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves are the focus of the specialist medical area known as neurosurgery. With modern tools and methods, neurosurgeons may now do intricate operations with increased accuracy and better results.

The field of neurosurgery has undergone tremendous change over the years. Patients in India are seeking treatment for illnesses such as brain tumors, strokes, and traumatic brain injuries, which has resulted in a rise in the need for neurosurgical care.

Technology is one of the main forces influencing change in the neurosurgical area. Neurosurgeons are becoming more accurate and precise in their complex procedures thanks to new developments in surgical tools and techniques. Among the tools offered by Integra Life Sciences are surgical headlight systems (like DUO), handheld instrument portfolios, and cranial stabilization (like Mayfield).

Further, the increasing prevalence of brain-related injuries, tumors and skull fractures among others, increasing adoption of these devices, increasing awareness and increasing advancements are the factors expected to drive the market over the forecast period.

Restraints

Factors such as complications associated with these devices, the high cost of the devices, unmet needs and uncertainties regarding the devices are the factors expected to hamper the market.

Cranial stabilizing devices can be costly, smaller healthcare facilities and areas with tighter budgets may find it difficult to use them. Budgetary restrictions and economic downturns may cause medical equipment purchases, especially cranial stabilizing devices, to decline. Cranial stabilizing devices may be more expensive in some areas than others, and this may prevent patients from using them.

Segment Analysis

The global cranial stabilization devices market is segmented based on device type, material, application, end-user and region.

The brain retractor system segment accounted for approximately 54.3% of the cranial stabilization devices market share

The brain retractor system segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. The brain retractor system uses neurosurgeons can move or hold back brain matter during surgery gently and temporarily. It allows the surgeon to work efficiently while causing the least amount of damage to the surrounding tissue by giving access to the surgical site. A brain retractor system's main function is to provide a clear, controlled surgical field that neurosurgeons can use to access particular brain regions and treat them, as well as carry out other treatments like tumor excision or aneurysm repair.

There are several different types of brain retractor systems, such as hand-held and self-retaining retractors. Some are movable, enabling adjustment following the patient's surgical requirements. Continuous developments in materials science and technology have produced brain retractor systems that are less intrusive and more accurate, improving surgical results and patient safety.

For instance, the DORO LUCENT Cranial Stabilization System is the cranial stabilization system of choice for all imaging procedures applying X-Ray, Angio & iCT imaging. This neurosurgical headrest system is highly adaptable to the distinct needs of the surgeon and the next procedure at hand. The headrest system features the proven, completely metal-free DORO Skull Clamp Radiolucent with its beneficial Quick-Rail interfaces for easy attachment of navigation tracking devices and retractor systems.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 41.5% of the market share

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. The increasing number of brain surgery drives the market. In the US, neurosurgery is a very specialized specialty that calls for substantial study and training. After completing a demanding residency program in neurosurgery, medical professionals become neurosurgeons.

For instance, according to Integra Lifesciences, there are fewer than 3,700 neurosurgeons who work in more than 5,700 hospitals in the U.S. What’s more, neurological services tend to be clustered in large population areas, leaving many rural areas without coverage. An April 2020 study of 379 medical students and foreign medical graduates considering or pursuing a career in neurosurgery in the U.S. found that the pandemic had a significant effect on the neurosurgery pipeline, and thus, the impending neurosurgeon shortage.

In addition, the United States is also known for its strong presence of major players such as medical device companies. The presence of major players helps to develop more advanced cranial stabilization devices with enhanced features and suitability to improve patient safety and better outcomes.

For instance, hillrom’s C-Flex Head Positioning System can be used in all types of spinal surgery, giving surgeons and anesthesiologists precise control over the head and cervical spine. The “squeeze and position” technology of this cranial stabilization device supports exact set up and readjustments intraoperatively. Versatility is provided by the ability to use the cranial stabilization system with headrests or with skull clamps, the quick-connect coupler making connecting to a skull clamp quick and easy. An extensive range of motion makes the C-Flex system ideal for use with extremely kyphotic patients, anterior artificial discs and lateral procedures.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the cranial stabilization devices market include pro med instruments GmbH, Integra Lifesciences Holdings Corporation, Changzhou Huida Medical Instrument Co., Ltd., Micromar Ind. e Com. LTDA, Stryker Corporation, Incus Surgical Limited, AGOMED Medizin-Technik GmbH, Rycol Medical, Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. and ALVO Medical Sp. z o.o. among others.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019 created unprecedented challenges for industries worldwide, including the global cranial Stabilization devices market. To prioritize COVID-19 patients and lower the risk of transmission, some hospitals and healthcare facilities postponed or canceled elective surgeries early in the pandemic.

Due to the temporary postponement of numerous non-urgent neurosurgery procedures, there was a temporary decrease in the demand for cranial stabilizing devices. To attend to the urgent needs of COVID-19 patients, hospitals and medical staff were shifted, potentially devoting resources and attention away from neurosurgery and cranial stabilizing equipment.
