簡介目錄

2023 年股骨隧道刷市場價值為 3.501 億美元，預計到 2033 年將達到 4.849 億美元，2024 年至 2033 年的複合年成長率為 3.3%。

股管刷市場-IMG1

股骨隧道刷是整形外科手術，特別是關節關節重建手術中使用的專用手術器械。此刷子用於清洗和準備股管，即股骨（大腿骨）內的空腔，去除鬆散的骨碎片、脂肪和其他軟組織殘留物。這種準備可確保假體組件正確黏合和固定，促進長期穩定性並降低植入鬆動等併發症的風險。

全球股骨隧道刷市場正在經歷強勁成長，原因是骨關節炎、類風濕性關節炎和創傷相關關節損傷等關節疾病的盛行率驚人上升，以及全球整形外科手術數量的增加。根據世界衛生組織（WHO）2022年發布的調查顯示，2019年全球約有5.28億人患有骨關節炎。這凸顯了股骨隧道刷等手術工具的迫切需求。此外，老年人口的快速增加將成為全球市場的主要動力。這是因為隨著世界老化人口的快速成長，髖關節和膝關節關節重建置換術的需求不斷增加。世界衛生組織（WHO）2024年發布的一項研究顯示，老年人口數量將從2020年的10億增加到2030年的14億。此外，到2050年，80歲及以上人口數量預計將達到4.26億人。此外，印度、巴西和中國等新興經濟體的醫療保健基礎設施快速發展，增加了獲得整形外科手術的機會，從而支持了股管刷市場的成長。術後感染疾病仍是整形外科手術的重要議題。股骨隧道刷在確保手術部位清潔方面發揮著至關重要的作用，從而進一步增加了其需求。然而，股管刷和其他手術器械的高價格可能是一個障礙，特別是在新興市場和醫療預算有限的地區。此外，不需要股骨隧道刷的非侵入性或微創手術的增加可能會影響其需求，從而阻礙市場成長。相反，材料和設計創新，例如更俱生物相容性和耐用性的刷毛，提高了股管刷的效率。預計這將促進其在整形外科手術中的應用，並為預測期內全球市場的擴張提供有利可圖的機會。

全球股管刷市場規模分為用途、應用、最終用戶和地區。根據用途，市場分為清洗和清創。依用途分為骨水泥、人工髖關節、人工關節及其他。根據最終用戶，市場分為醫院、門診手術中心和其他。根據地區，分析範圍涵蓋北美、歐洲、亞太地區、拉丁美洲以及中東和非洲。

主要發現

根據使用情況，清洗業預計將在 2024 年至 2033 年期間佔據市場主導地位。

根據應用，預計骨水泥部分在預測期內將出現最高成長率。

按最終用戶分類，預計未來幾年醫院部門將引領股管刷市場。

根據地區，北美很可能在整個預測期內成為股管刷最有利可圖的市場。

簡介目錄
Product Code: A324002

The femoral canal brush market was valued at $350.1 million in 2023, and is projected to reach $484.9 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 3.3% from 2024 to 2033.

Femoral Canal Brush Market - IMG1

A femoral canal brush is a specialized surgical tool used in orthopedic procedures, particularly during joint replacement surgeries. It is designed to clean and prepare the femoral canal-the hollow space within the femur (thigh bone)-by removing loose bone debris, fat, and other soft tissue residues. This preparation ensures proper cementing and fixation of the prosthetic components, promoting long-term stability and reducing the risk of complications like implant loosening.

The global femoral canal brush market is witnessing robust growth due to factors such as alarming rise in prevalence of joint disorders such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and trauma-related joint injuries and increase in number of orthopedic surgeries worldwide. As per a 2022 study published by the World Health Organization, approximately 528 million individuals worldwide were suffering from osteoarthritis in 2019. This highlights the urgent need for surgical tools like femoral canal brushes. In addition, surge in geriatric population acts as a key driving force of the global market. This is attributed to the fact that with the global aging population growing rapidly, the demand for hip and knee replacements is on the rise. A 2024 study published by the World Health Organization revealed that the number of aged individuals will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2030. Moreover, the number of individuals aging 80 years and older is estimated to reach 426 million by 2050. Furthermore, rapid development of healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies, such as India, Brazil, and China, has increased access to orthopedic surgeries, supporting the growth of the femoral canal brush market. Post-operative infections remain a critical concern in orthopedic procedures. Femoral canal brushes play a key role in reducing the risk of infections by ensuring a clean surgical site, thereby further driving their demand. However, high cost of femoral canal brushes and other surgical instruments can be a barrier, particularly in emerging markets and regions with limited healthcare budgets. In addition, rise of non-invasive or minimally invasive surgical procedures, which might not require femoral canal brushes, could impact their demand, thus hampering the market growth. On the contrary, innovations in materials and design, such as biocompatible and durable bristles, have enhanced the efficiency of femoral canal brushes. This has driven their adoption in orthopedic procedures, which is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period.

The global femoral canal brush market size is segmented into usage, application, end user, and region. On the basis of the usage, the market is bifurcated into cleaning and debride. By application, it is classified into bone cement, hip replacement, joint replacement, and others. Depending on end user, it is divided into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Key Findings

By usage, the cleaning segment is expected to dominate the market from 2024 to 2033.

On the basis of application, the bone cement segment is anticipated to exhibit the highest growth rate during the forecast period.

Depending on end user, the hospitals segment is projected to lead the femoral canal brush market in the upcoming years.
