Concise Analysis on the International Surgical Robot Market - Forecasts to 2019
M2 - Fri Jan 31, 5:29AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wlnv2r/surgical_robot) has announced the addition of a new report "Concise Analysis on the International Surgical Robot Market - Forecasts to 2019" to their offering. Existing open surgery can be replaced in large part by robotic minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Minimally invasive robotic surgery, new robotic radiation treatment, and emerging robotic surgical approaches complement existing surgery techniques. Soon, all surgery will be undertakes with at least come aspects of robotic surgery replacing or complementing open surgery. During a robot assisted surgical procedure, the patient-side cart is positioned next to the operating table with the electromechanical arms arranged to provide access to the initial ports selected by the surgeon. When a surgeon needs to change an instrument the instrument is withdrawn from the surgical field using the controls at the console. This is done many times during an operation. The companies that get an early foothold in the market have significant strategic advantage. The robotic surgical technique benefits hospitals by reducing the length of patient stays, thereby enabling better cost management. This factor is driving demand for surgery robot systems. Since robotics provide surgeons with a precise, repeatable and controlled ability to perform procedures in tight spaces, they are increasingly in demand. Hospitals are adopting robotic surgical devices to improve their outcomes numbers. Hospitals are measured on outcomes, robots for surgery, when used by a trained physician are improving outcomes significantly. Surgical robot device markets at $3.2 billion in 2012 are anticipated to reach $19.96 billion by 2019 as next generation devices, systems, and instruments are introduced to manage surgery through small ports in the body instead of large open wounds. Key Topics Covered: Surgical Robot Executive Summary 1. Surgical Robots Market Description and Market Dynamics 2. Surgical Robot Market Shares and Forecasts 3. Surgical Robots Product Description 4.

The medical robotics industry has undergone striking development since its introduction in the mid-1980s. From the introduction of robots to perform basic activities such as assistance in surgical procedures and endoscopy, medical robots are now integrated in a wide range of applications such as neurosurgeries, microsurgeries, radiology, emergency response, and prosthetics and in non-medical applications in hospitals. Medical robots can be classified on the basis of various principles such as kinematics, targeted anatomy, level of automation and the intended operation environment. Currently a wide range of medical robots are commercially available and large scale research is being conducted to introduce breakthrough technologies in them. In addition, many of the medical robots commercially available are mainly concentrated in the developed markets. Efforts are being taken by medical robot manufacturers to enter the emerging markets of Asia-Pacific, Middle-East and Africa. It is proven that through robotic assistance the outcomes of complex surgical procedures improve, the risk of patient trauma declines and the duration of hospital stay reduces. Though the concept of medical robots is old, it is still viewed to be at a nascent stage in the healthcare technology market.

Knee Replacement - Global Analysis and Market Forecasts: The US Possessed the Largest Market Share of 63% in 2012 and is Expected to Drop Slightly to Just Below 61% in 2019
M2 - Wed Dec 04, 5:46AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jb6thn/medipoint_knee) has announced the addition of the "MediPoint: Knee Replacement - Global Analysis and Market Forecasts" report to their offering. Knee Replacement Market Bends in the Right Direction, Despite Dwindling Revenue Growth, says The authors The knee replacement market value across 10 major countries will undergo a slight increase over the next few years, from $6,544m in 2012 to $7,459m by 2019, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 1.9%, forecasts the authors. The company's latest report* states that out of the 10 major markets (10MM) - the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Japan, Brazil, China and India - the US possessed the largest market share of 63% in 2012. This is expected to drop slightly to just below 61% in 2019. Linda Tian, the authors's Analyst covering Orthopedic Devices, says: The knee replacement market represents the largest joint reconstruction market in the world. Although it has continued to grow at a steady rate in procedure volume, profit margins have been negatively affected by health executives scrutinizing purchases and using multiple channels to procure orthopedic devices at highly competitive prices. Nevertheless, the rising prevalence of symptomatic arthritis will drive the expected growth over the forecast period. Emerging markets, such as India and China, will see a higher growth level in knee replacement and will provide the key for players to gain additional market share. Furthermore, technological advancements in joint reconstruction surgeries, such as computer-assisted systems, will also provide a boost to the market. Tian says: As the knee replacement procedure volume rises over the next decade, it will become increasingly important to improve surgical accuracy and reduce revision rates to a specific level. Future competition among vendors will thus be more likely to center on the instrumentation and ancillary equipment, such as patient-specific instruments (PSIs), navigation systems, and robotic systems.
