Some Key players include Alphatec Spine Inc, Nuvasive Inc, Seaspine, etc.
3. Minimally Invasive Techniques:
Minimally invasive surgical techniques continue to evolve, reducing recovery times and postoperative discomfort. European orthopedic surgeons are increasingly adopting these approaches, leading to shorter hospital stays and quicker return to normal activities for patients.
Some top doctors include Mr. Edward Dawe (Orthopaedic Surgeon), Mr. Muthu Ganapathi (Hip & Robotic knew Surgeon), Mr. Lucky Jeyaseelan (Orthopaedic Surgeon), etc.
4. Trend in Disposable products:
The European market for medical implants is undergoing a shift towards disposable products, driven by patient preferences for minimally invasive procedures, technological advancements in single-use implants, and concerns about infection control.
