Market Overview

The sternal closure systems market is expected to showcase a significant growth rate during the forecasted years owing to the increasing rate of cardiovascular diseases globally. Sternal closure devices refer to orthopedic devices that are used for the fixation of the sternum after a sternotomy and stabilize it properly with natural alignment. Sternotomy is basically a medical procedure where the chest cavity is opened with the help of surgical tools, done by highly skilled medical professionals to access the organs beneath the breastbone of the human body.

Cardiovascular diseases are frequent these days due to the sedentary lifestyle with contaminated foods, especially foods grown inorganically with harmful pesticides, which is one of the prime reasons for health decline. Cardiovascular injury is another reason why sternotomy is done to treat the damaged part of the chest area, which majorly happens due to accidents. These two reasons led to the increasing number of heart surgeries worldwide, fuelling the sternal closure systems market prominently on a wider scale and aiding in rising demand for sternal closure devices.

AI Impact on the market

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is significantly impacting the market growth of sternal closure systems for various reasons, like enhancing surgical procedures and improving precision by analyzing data with the help of machine learning algorithms.
