Abstract

Biotech Meets Orthopedics in Latest Technology for Spine Procedures

While spine implants is the fastest growing segment in the $7-billion U.S. orthopedic implants market, surgeons have long been awaiting a way to get more reliable results in spinal fusion surgeries. Growth factors called bone morphogenic proteins (BMP) are expected to hold the key to increasing success rates among the 300,000 plus spine fusions that take place each year in the country. Although this is an emerging field, with little history in the United States or the rest of the world, the novelty of the technology coupled with its ease-of-use is expected to generate high interest in it.

This research analyzes the U.S. and Asian markets for BMP in spine fusions. It offers different viewpoints--of medical device manufacturers, healthcare organizations, spine surgeons, and scientists--to highlight the factors that drive/restrain this market. Strategic recommendations are also offered to those device manufacturers involved in this emerging market.

Raising the Standard of Patient Care

"With the rate of fusion failure in spine surgeries being 30 to 50 percent, there is no doubt of the huge potential for BMPs in these procedures," notes the analyst of the research. "Their success will raise the bar in patient care for spine surgeries." BMPs are wonder products for those suffering from chronic back pain and requiring spine fusion. At present, the gold standard for spine fusion is the use of autograft harvested from the patient's pelvic bone through a separate surgery. BMP products may eliminate the use of autograft, doing away with the patient's additional pain at the graft site and also saving surgeons the time required to harvest/shape the graft.

Increasing Cost-to-benefit Ratio Will Drive Adoption

The widespread interest among spine surgeons in the application of BMP needs to be translated into regular use. "Ultimate success depends on the cost-to-benefit ratio as perceived by surgeons and healthcare organizations," says the analyst. "If the price is right, surgeons are expected to use BMPs for up to 30 percent of their surgeries."

Manufacturers need to strive toward increasing the cost-to-benefit ratio of BMP products by either reducing the cost and/or widening its indications to other spinal surgeries. Investment must be made in proper training of surgeons to reduce incidences of unfavorable outcomes due to improper use. Healthcare organizations need to be convinced of the importance of BMPs to approve add-on payments. The aim of the device manufacturers should be to make BMP a part and parcel of every spine fusion.
