Market Dynamics:
The rising demand for hydroxyapatite from the orthopedic industry is one of the key drivers propelling the market growth. Hydroxyapatite coatings on metallic implants such as knee and hip replacements extend the lifetime of implants by preventing cracking and loosening. Moreover, hydroxyapatite-coated dental implants demonstrate better osseointegration and high survival rates...
Implantable medical devices are medical devices that are surgically implanted inside the body either partially or fully and are intended to remain there after the completion of a surgical procedure. Some common examples of implantable medical devices include pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, drug infusion pumps, and prosthetic joints. These devices have significantly improved health...
SWOT AnalysisStrength: PEEK implants have excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties making them a suitable alternative to metal implants. PEEK is lightweight like carbon composites and can be made radio translucent. It mimics human bone characteristics and stimulates less tissue reaction compared to metals. PEEK implants have fatigue and corrosion resistance like titanium implants....
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite, with the chemical formula Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. It is the major mineral component of human bones and teeth. Hydroxyapatite plays a key role in medical implants and allows for stronger anchoring of implants in bone tissue. It promotes bone growth and helps in faster recovery from fractures. The powder form of hydroxyapatite is...
