Global Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) Devices Market 2015-2019 - New Market Report

Craniomaxillofacial traumas caused by sports injuries and traffic accidents can result in frontal bone fracture, orbital fracture, maxillary fracture, and mandibular fracture. CMF devices are used to repair and reconstruct the cranial and facial fractures. These devices are also used to reconstruct genetic defects such as cleft palate, Down syndrome, and Treacher Collins syndrome.

CMF devices are classified into internal and external fixators based on the location of the surgery. Metals and alloys and polymers are used to manufacture CMF devices. In metals, titanium alloys are widely used to manufacture cranial plates because of its high strength, low weight, and non-corrosive properties. Implants that contain polymers such as PMMA and Medpor are commonly used, as these are biocompatible and help in the augmentation of the cranial and facial bones. In resorbable fixation devices, biomaterials such as PDLLA and PPEK are used. According to the needs of the patients, customized cranial implants can be manufactured.

Technavio's analysts forecast the global craniomaxillofacial devices market to grow at a CAGR of 6% during 2014-2019.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio's team said, one major trend in this market is high demand for patient-specific cranial implants. Advances in imaging techniques, such as cranial CT scan, allow physicians to recreate a computerized model of the patient's skull anatomy and provide personalized treatment.

According to the report, one key driver of this market is High demand for patient-specific cranial implants. Advances in imaging techniques, such as cranial CT scan, allow physicians to recreate a computerized model of the patient's skull anatomy and provide personalized treatment.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the high cost of CMF surgery. CMF devices are expensive because of the use of innovative technologies and biocompatible products. Conventional cranioplasty that involves the use of biomaterials costs $330-$5,550 depending on the size of the cranial implant.
