VANCOUVER, BC, June 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via PRWEB – According to a recently published report by iData Research (http://www.idataresearch.com), the motion preservation device
Artificial discs attempt to restore or maintain the natural motion of the human spine, while a fusion procedure limits motion almost entirely. When given the choice between a fusion and a motion preserving device, patients generally prefer motion preserving devices. Spinal fusion also increases the risk of a second fusion or revision surgery due to adjacent vertebral level complications.
These new improvements to CAD will allow the market to exhibit high growth. Additionally, insurance companies in the U.S. have begun coverage for cervical disc replacement procedures. The improved reimbursement policies will continue to facilitate growth in the CAD market. However, because of their increased popularity, CADs will ultimately begin to cannibalize a significant portion of the spinal fusion market over the forecast period.
The leading competitor in the market, DePuy Synthes holds nearly 50% market share in the US motion preservation market due to the company’s strength in the LAD and CAD markets. They are the only company with both a CAD and a LAD device on the US market. DePuy Synthes is currently the only company and the sole competitor in the US market with an approved LAD device. However, DePuy Synthes’ position will be challenged in the future with the emergence of many new competitors and products as well as second-generation devices, such as those from AxioMed and Spinal Kinetics.
Other notable competitors in the US motion preservation device market include Medtronic, LDR, Globus Medical, Paradigm Spine, and NuVasive among others.
