Hernia Repair Device Market Growing By Leaps and Bounds

The worldwide demand for hernia repair devices is growing and it’s expected to continue to do so through 2019 at least. A recent market research study indicted the value of the global market was US $3,578.21 million back in 2012. The market is now anticipated to climb to a whopping US $5,936.43 million before 2020 begins.

A hernia is nothing more than a sac that forms on the lining of the abdominal cavity. Depending on the location of the hernia, however, the severity of the condition can range from one that causes mild discomfort to a concern that may prove fatal if complications arise, such as strangulation. Surgical repair isn’t always required to treat a hernia, but oftentimes it is.

The rising demand for hernia repair devices is thought to be greatly associated with the rapidly increasing geriatric population worldwide. Hernias are strongly tied to obesity and are also known to increase in frequency within the elder population.

As the market demand for repair devices grows, researchers are finding that a certain procedure is gaining popularity among surgeons and patients worldwide. Tension-free hernia repair protocols are fast gaining ground over more traditional methods.

This method calls for using a small piece of surgical grade meshing to cover the hernia defect as opposed to stitching the two sides of the incision together. Tension-free procedures can often be performed laparoscopically and are known to provide more comfort for patients over the long run.

While the market for hernia repair devices continues to grow, people can do their part to prevent this condition from arising. Losing weight if it is a concern is a good place to start. So, too, is taking care to avoid lifting heavy objects improperly. Should a hernia become an issue, it’s important to have it fully checked out by a healthcare professional. In some cases, immediate surgery may be required to prevent serious complications.
