Artificial Limbs Market: Overview

An artificial limb is also called a prosthetics device, which is used as a mechanical replacement for a missing limb. Artificial limbs are lightweight and high-strength custom fabricated devices that are used for amputees with lost their limbs caused by diseases or injuries. The materials used in artificial limbs comprise laminated fibers and plastics, willow wood, carbon-fiber composites, and different metallic alloys. Arm prosthesis, leg prosthesis, and cosmetic prosthesis are some types of prosthetics. Transradial or transhumeral are two main types of arm prosthesis.

Transradial prosthetics are used for amputation below the elbow, whereas transhumeral prosthetics are attached to the upper arm in the cases with a missing elbow joint. Leg prosthetics are majorly divided into two types—transfemoral and transtibial. Transfemoral prosthetics comprise an artificial knee joint that is attached to the thigh. Transtibial prosthetics, on the other hand, are used to replace parts missing below the knee.

Growing geriatric population and rising obese population are likely to be the major factors contributing toward the growth of the artificial limbs market over the estimated timeframe globally. Moreover, diseases like osteoarthritis affect the aging population the most, which has triggered an increased demand for joint replacement surgeries. As per the National Limb Loss Information Center, in the U.S., about 1.7 million of the population lives with some type of limb loss. It is expected that 1 out of every 200 individuals will have an amputation in the U.S., due to trauma, vascular complications (such as diabetes), and cancer. Novel technologies and the use of new materials have induced an improvement in the available products and made them more adaptive to patients’ needs.
