Artificial Tendons and Ligaments Market Top Players and Strategies
The global artificial tendons and ligaments market
is projected to reach USD 35.0 million by 2023 from USD 18.5 million in
2018, at a CAGR of 13.6%. The artificial tendons and ligaments market
is emerging and fragmented in nature with various regional and
international players. In 2017, the artificial tendons and ligaments
market was dominated by LARS (France) and Neoligaments (UK).
LARS held the leading position of the global artificial tendons and
ligaments market in 2017. The company offers the Ligament Augmentation
Reinforcement System (LARS) for a wide range of applications, such as
soft-tissue repair and reconstruction for the treatment of knee,
shoulder and arm, foot and ankle, and hip injuries. Since 1992, more
than 60,000 LARS ligaments have been implanted by 400 surgeons
worldwide, with more than 30,000 used for ACL alone. LARS ligaments have
been successfully used for more than 25 years in a wide variety of
patients ranging from the general public to elite athletes. LARS
ligament procedures have led to high patient satisfaction, shortened
recovery time, early return to normal activity (within 3–6 months),
immediate restoration of stability and function, and minimal
complications. Also, these procedures are associated with a high implant
survival rate of 92.9% after more than ten years of ACL reconstruction.
The company’s operations are spread across Australia, the UK, France,
Germany, and Canada owing to its distribution agreement with the Corin
Group (UK) and Revolution Surgical (Australia). Complications associated
with older-generation products and high failure rates have adversely
affected the brand image of artificial tendons and ligaments. In order
to address these concerns and increase its customer base, LARS focuses
on publishing research papers showcasing the efficacy of its products.
For instance, the company has published 22 papers regarding the use of
LARS in knee ligament reconstruction of the ACL and PCL.
