Abstract
Through 2011, growth in this market will be driven by favorable demographics
including rising obesity levels, which will contribute to growing procedure
volumes and subsequent unit sales. Also driving market growth will be the
rising penetration of commercial meshes over traditional mesh-free methods of
repair and the adoption of new higher priced soft tissue products.
This market is comprised of ventral hernia repair, vaginal slings, inguinal
hernia repair, pelvic floor reconstruction, dural repair, rotator cuff
reinforcement, and staple line reinforcement.
