Of these devices, 79 are in active development, while the remaining 133 are in an inactive stage of development. There are 45 products in the early stages of development, and the remaining 34 are in the late stages of development.
The spine is made of 33 individual bones known as vertebra. The vertebrae are numbered and divided into regions: cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacrum (5-fused), and coccyx (4-fused). Spinal fusion procedures are mainly performed on cervical and thoraco-lumbar regions. Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that involves joining two vertebrae in the spine to form a single solid bone, with the involvement of certain devices, in order to relieve pain. Spinal fusion is performed by conventional and Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) methods. Conventional methods include all open surgical methods that used for performing spinal procedures. Depending on the site of incision (surgical approach), thoraco-lumbar fusion procedures are divided into anterior, posterior and lateral fusion procedures. Depending on the level of surgery performed, cervical fusion procedures are classified into one-level and two-level where as thoraco-lumbar fusion procedures are classified into one, two and three-level. One-level, two-level and three-level surgeries involve the fusion of two, three and four vertebral segments respectively. Conventional methods of spinal fusion procedures are tracked whereas MIS fusion procedures are excluded. Spinal plating systems, Pedicle screw systems, Interbody devices are the devices used in conventional spinal fusion procedures. Spinal plating systems, Pedicle screw systems and Interbody devices are covered under this segment. The percentage split of vertebral body replacement systems and the number of devices used in conventional methods of spinal fusion procedures is tracked in this segment but the average selling price and value of vertebral body replacement systems are tracked under a separate segment of “Vertebral Body Replacement Systems”.
Innovations in the medical devices sector are linked to the development of new approaches, processes, or technologies for treating, diagnosing, and managing disease in response to demand from healthcare for better patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
Based on an analysis of GlobalData’s Medical Intelligence Center pipeline product database, these actively developed Spinal Fusion pipeline devices are all expected to be approved within the next ten years.
Currently, private organizations, public entities and institutions are working on the development of Spinal Fusion devices. Overall, most of these Spinal Fusion pipeline devices are being developed by private entities.
Key players involved in the active development of Spinal Fusion include University of Toledo, Implanet, Alphatec, University of South Florida, Corelink, LESspine, Medtronic, MI4 Spine, Curiteva and DSM Biomedical.
