Advancements in 3D Technology in Casting and Splinting Fuels Asia Pacific Clinic Casting and Splinting Products Market
The rapid development of 3D printing implies fast penetration 3D printing techniques into the healthcare system, especially for treating fractures. In rehabilitation tool manufacturing, 3D printing technology is applied to orthopedic cast fabrication to create patient-specific features with an appropriate fit and a ventilated structure. The novel casting technology heals the fracture effectively without casting complications. The 3D-printed cast is customized and lightweight.
Patient-specific and 3D-printed casts develop proper fit according to the shape of the injured arm. Thus, the risk of stress concentration can be reduced since large contact areas are created. 3D printing makes the fabrication process simpler and in shorter period, especially in a customized design. On that account, the application of 3D printing in biomedical engineering is growing and promising to be practiced in the future. Also, the customizable hand cast made by using 3D printing technique is reliable and provides comfort and satisfaction to the patients. 3D printing is an evolving technology that has a potential application in treating pediatric forearm fractures. These factors can lead to better patient compliance. The 3D-printed cast proved to be superior in terms of satisfaction, comfort, and perceived function as compared to the fiberglass. Thus, the above-mentioned factors would create significant opportunities for the Asia Pacific clinic casting and splinting products market in the coming years.
Asia Pacific Clinic Casting and Splinting Products Market Overview
The Asia Pacific clinic casting and splinting products market is segmented into China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. Rising cases of fractures due to accidents in countries such as India, China, Indonesia, and Australia, increase in geriatric population who are susceptible to fractures and sprains, and increase in prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders. Distal radius fracture (DRF) is one of the most common fall-related fractures of the upper extremities. According to Bioscientifica Ltd, in China, the age-adjusted overall incidence of DRF varies between 100 and 300 per 100,000 person-years. As osteoporosis occurrence is high in the geriatric population, the incidence of DRF also increases in this population. According to the 2020 census, people aged above 65 years accounted for 13.5% of the total population of China. As per World Bank Group data, in 2022, ~14% of the total population of China is aged above 65 years. A rise in the geriatric population in China increases the incidence of DRF in this population. Splinters and casts are used to immobilize the distal radius for treatment. Hence, an increase in cases of DRF in China is fueling the growth of the Asia Pacific clinic casting and splinting products market in China.
