Any kind of medical device that restores normalcy in a patient’s mobility and reduces pain is known as an orthopaedic device. Such devices are hugely successful all over the world, including India, and command a significant share of the global biomaterials market. However, many orthopaedic devices manufactured are sometimes of a low quality and result in infection and ineffective treatment. Some examples of orthopaedic devices include bandages, prostheses, splints and other special apparatus. Apart from specific examples, some of the broad categories of orthopaedic devices include fixing devices, relieving devices, corrective devices and compression-distraction devices. With a vast majority of the population suffering from orthopaedic problems, the market for such devices is huge in India. However, sub-standard products sometimes affect the overall treatment process. Prosthetics and braces and support devices command some of the highest market shares in India. Hide this
