Spinal surgeries involve lengthy recovery periods due to the high criticality of the surgery and the utmost care needed after surgery. Spinal fusion, laminectomy, and disk replacement are common spinal procedures. Implants made from titanium, titanium alloy, or stainless steel and non-metallic compounds such as ceramic are used to reduce the pain, correct deformities, and stabilize the spinal cord. The rising number of spinal surgeries, influences the development of bioresorbable implants that dissolve inside the body after spine fusion. Moreover, spinal surgery procedures also demand the use of medical disposables. According to our industry research report, the rising usage of single-use spinal products will be one of the key trends that will gain traction in the surgical and nonwoven disposable market during the next few years.
