New Technology to Drive Hernia Repair Market Over $4 Billion by 2012

April 19, 2011 - PRLog -- According to the report ‘Hernia Repair Device Markets and Procedures’ now available at: http://www.pharmaceutical-market-research.com/go/KAL00135 rapid adoption of biosynthetic mesh and other minimally invasive methods of hernia repair will increase revenues for manufacturers of hernia repair specialty equipment. According to a recent report, a plethora of risk factors, including old age, previous surgery, obesity and smoking, coupled with prevalent healthcare options will increase the number of expected operations, creating a $4.1 billion market by 2012.

Biosynthetic mesh procedures provide benefits such as better a patient experience, greater resistance to infections and rapid tissue growth. These meshes, made up of silicone, rubber, polypropylene, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), create a protective layer that comes in contact with the intestine. A recent perfection of the T-shaped prosthesis, which is composed of silicone and polypropylene, reduces the development of incisional hernias, often caused by previous surgery.

Former developments include the laparoscopic repair method, widely adopted by 2000, which reduces invasiveness by patching hernias from the inside. Although once widely criticised for its high recurrence rate, continuing development of this procedure has led to a current near-zero rate of recurrence.
