However, after the introduction of the vaccine, the breast surgery retractors market share is expected to flourish.

LATEST TRENDS

Introduction of 3-D Imprinted Implants to Propel the Market

3-D imprinted implants are going to be the next advancement in the field of breast surgery retractors market. Two of the German companies BellaSeno and Evonik came in a partnership with each other to focus on the development of 3-D breast implant technology. BellaSeno will forgo silicone implants, which have caused serious safety issues, and instead employ evonik’s resomer bioresorbable plastic within its Senella breast structures. The human clinical trial of the Senella scaffolds was started in 2019 in Germany. Resomer polymer was used for clinical and commercial uses, by Evonik. The liposuction body fat from the patient is used to make the scaffolds, which are intended to direct the formation of the natural tissue. The product is intended for usage following surgery for enhancement, restoration and revision.

• According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), over 65% of breast surgeries in the U.S. now utilize modern self-retaining retractors to improve surgical visibility and reduce operation time.
