NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Global biological implant market is anticipated to reach USD 9.8 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Biological implant market is driven by rise in adoption of grafts and organ substitutes for reconstructive surgeries for various clinical applications such as cardiovascular, orthopedic and other soft tissue repair. The main challenge associated with the use of these products is to incorporate such a material that can specifically adapt to the biology of the surrounding environment in order to accelerate regeneration and repair. To overcome this challenge, research endeavors are carried out in order to develop such devices from biological source thus affecting industrial growth in the coming years.

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/05/2016 -- Interspinous spacers sometimes also called as Interspinous process decompression systems, are the devices implanted between vertebral spinous processes. These spacers are made up of a very strong but lightweight metal (titanium) which is biocompatible in the human body. These devices are imbedded in body to confine painful motion else enabling normal motion and to treat lumbar spinal stenosis, discogenic low-back pain, facet syndrome, disc herniations, and non-traumatic instability. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a thinning of the spinal canal in the lower back which causes compression on nerves and it is developed gradually with age.

Dental Crown and Bridges Market: Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis and Forecast, 2015 – 2021

This press release was orginally distributed by SBWire

Sarasota, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/05/2016 -- Crowns and bridges are a treatment through which teeth conditions are repaired. In crown treatment, new teeth are implanted on the decaying or damaged tooth. In bridges treatment, a gap between teeth is filled by implanting a specific number of teeth in the gaps. The crowns and bridges are fixed onto existing teeth and can only be removed by a professional. These devices are usually made from the ceramic material but sometimes gold, silver or acrylic can also be used.

LONDON – Scientists are taking the battle to prevent HIV to the next level with large-scale trials set to start using injections to protect vulnerable groups such as gay men and women in Africa for at least two months.

Further down the road, the hope is to produce matchstick-sized implants containing slow-release drugs - similar to existing under-the-skin contraceptive devices - that could offer year-long protection.

Companies with drugs involved include GlaxoSmithKline, Gilead Sciences and Merck.

The initiatives build on the success of Gilead's once-daily pill Truvada, which has proved remarkably effective at stopping HIV infection during sex.

Dallas, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/29/2016 --The global spinal implants and spinal devices market is expected to reach over USD 19.54 billion by 2024 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.

The key drivers of the market include the rising number of spinal injuries, increasing trend in the adoption of sedentary lifestyles, postural defects stemming from bad posture habits at work and while driving, and a large number of people suffering from obesity. In addition to the above, the introduction of the image-based spinal navigation technology, the evolution of titanium biologics, and the ongoing research on the genetically modified bone morphogenetic proteins are also expected to positively reinforce the market growth.

LONDON, Nov. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- 3D printed medical devices are state-of-the-art medical devices that involve a process of developing three dimensional solid objects from a digital model. Patient specific treatment is the main advantage of 3D printing technology in the healthcare industry. In the domain of healthcare, 3D printing technology is used to develop medical devices such as dental implants, orthopaedic implants, prosthetics, and hearing aids. Furthermore, hospitals and academic institutes use 3D printing technology to develop various models for training purposes. 3D printed medical devices considered in the report typically use technologies such as stereolithography (SLA), selective layer sintering (SLS), digital light processing (DLP), fused deposition modelling (FDM), polyjet / inkjet 3D printing, and electronic beam melting (EBM).
