A cast saw is an oscillating power tool used to remove orthopedic casts. Unlike a circular saw with a rotating blade, a cast saw uses a sharp, small-toothed blade rapidly oscillating or vibrating back and forth over a very small angle to cut material. This device is often used with a cast spreader. The patients' skin frequently comes into contact with the cast saw blade without cutting although it can cause lacerations when used over bony prominences. The design enables the saw to cut rigid materials such as plaster or fiberglass while soft tissues such as skin move back and forth with the blade, dissipating the shear forces, preventing injury. This is the Bi-valving method is used to cut the cast with the help of an oscillating blade that is safe and prevents any cuts or injuries to the patient’s skin, on contact. However, demand for cast saw devices is anticipated to increase during the forecast period owing to the rise in incidence of non-fatal injuries and growing burden of osteoporosis.
Covid-19 Scenario analysis:
The coronavirus COVID-19 is affecting 213 countries and territories around the world. COVID-19 has created new challenges that are requiring manufacturers to innovate at speeds they never have before. Supply chain disruptions, social distancing on high-touch assembly lines, limited ability to travel, and the need for oversight add significant complexity to today’s processes. The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created a global health crisis that has had a deep impact on the manufacturing market there is a shortage in supply of raw materials from Chinese manufacturers which has resulted in a severe demand-supply gap. The manufacturers are further expected to be stranded on raw material orders owing to the logistics industry being significantly impacted due to lockdown amid COVID-19. This has all affected the market adversely causing a slowdown in the Cast saw devices market due to shortage of supply and manufacturing.
Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact analysis:
Drivers:
Rise in number of cases of osteoporosis:
Osteoporosis is one of the most common chronic diseases. It causes a person’s bones to become more porous and fragile, greatly increasing their risk of suffering a fracture. Sufferers of these serious yet largely preventable injuries often experience severe pain, long-term disability and even early death. The burden to health systems, economies and society is also huge – and on the increase. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture. Worldwide, a bone breaks due to osteoporosis every three seconds. In Europe, India, Japan and the USA alone, there are an estimated 125 million people with osteoporosis. Osteoporotic fractures cause an annual global loss of 5.8 million healthy life years to disability. After a hip fracture, 40% of individuals cannot walk independently, and 80% cannot perform basic activities such as shopping independently. 10-20% of hip fracture sufferers require permanent nursing home care after the incident. In women over 45 years of age, osteoporosis accounts for more days in hospital than diabetes, heart attacks or breast cancer. In 2010, the cost of long-term disability from osteoporosis in the EU was 10.7 billion EUR. The number of people living with osteoporosis in all regions of the world is set to increase dramatically in the coming decades, due to ageing populations and lifestyle changes. Thus the increase in the prevalence of osteoporosis is the driver for the Cast saw devices market.
Increase in road accidents leading to fractures:
Throughout the world, the growth of the transport system has been and continues to be a key element in economic development. An increase in gross national product is accompanied by a greater movement of people and goods and greater investment in both vehicles and transport infrastructure. In the developing world, current trends in population growth, industrialization and urbanization are putting heavy pressure on the transport network in general and on road system in particular. Some of the unwanted side-effects of this growth in traffic, such as congestion and noise are immediately obvious to the individual citizen. Others, such as the growing number of deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents (RTAs), are apparent only through aggregated statistics. These reveal a serious and growing problem, with absolute fatality and casualty figures rising rapidly in the majority of developing countries and with death rates considerably higher than in the developed world’. Each year RTAs claim some 6,00,000 lives and thirty ‘times this number, that is over fifteen million, are injured according to the World Health Organization. This represents more than one life lost every minute and an injury every two seconds. To tend to these injuries the factures are used and thus the cast devices market is experiencing growth every year.
