Over 100 million Americans lack one or several teeth, which result in that the U.S. dental implant market is worth about 1 billion dollars per year. In addition, the demand for orthopedic implants is estimated to reach a market value of 23 billion dollars during 2011.
"Coating of implants with HANANO™ Surface leads to better integration of the implant in the patient's bone. We see several areas of application within the medtech and biosensor industry for Promimic´s products. We believe that applications within dental implants can be launched commercially by next year, but we are also seeing an increased interest for our surface on new implant materials, such as PEEK, ceramics and porous structures" Ulf Brogren continues.
The shift towards an older population will most likely lead to an increase in the demand for new medical treatments for example in spinal vertebrae, hip and wrist fractures. Within these areas, the use of bone grafts will grow substantially and hence, the demand for surfaces with improved osseointegrative properties.
“We will during the spring focus on market visibility in the U.S. and exhibit at several implant fairs" says Ulf Brogren who will travel to the annual orthopedics fair, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, to find new partners next week.
