Silastic implant are used in a surgery conducted to treat dysfunction of the joints and the joints gets rupture due to facture, arthritis or accidents. In silastic implants a substance made from silicone is inserted into the joint which is unmovable and its function as a spacer and makes the joint moveable. The substances used in silastic implant is made of polymeric rubber substances and is flexible like rubber. The materials used in silastic implants are silicone rubber, which is made from implants silicone gels used to fill the shell. The silicone used can be sanitary silicone, glazing silicone, neutral care silicone.
The silastic implants are also performed in males and females wherein there is defect in the reproductive organs. Silastic implants are also used in knee replacement surgeries and also to replace a joint. Silastic implants are also used in breast surgery. Silastic implants are beneficial in orthopedic surgery as the joint is not moveable and it cause flexibility of the joints. The silastic implants are new types of implants becoming popular among the orthopedic surgeons.
From the following year from 2013 to 2016, many patients have replaced finger joints. Of those patients who had finger replacement were reviewed on how they felt after the implant and the success rate of the implant was checked. It came to the notice that many of the patients were satisfied with the silastic implant surgeries .The joint which was not able to move had started moving and their anxiety level also reduced. The success rate also depended on the deformity they had for so many years. They could move the joint easily and did not faced difficulty in moving the joint, but regular checkups were important.
The global market for silastic implant is driven by increasing incidences of accidental fractures, accidents, joint replacements, etc. Growing number of silastic implants procedures is another factor driving the demand for silastic implants across the globe. Availability of reimbursement policies for implants is a preliminary factor increasing penetration of these products in the matured markets.
However, emerging countries do not have definite reimbursement policies for silastic implants, which restricts the market growth. Technological advancements in silastic implants is an important factor fueling the growth of the silastic implants market. For instance, new materials are used in silastic implants, which have change the diagnostic ways of silastic implant. Silastic implants play a very important role in curing the damage to the organs, if it is done at right time.
Hospitals and diagnostics laboratory segments use a strong position in the market due to invasive nature of the silastic implants market. These end users share significant portion of revenue in the overall market. However, continuing growth of silastic implants and higher sensitivity and specificity of silastic surgeries will provide remarkable growth opportunities for the silastic market in outpatient clinics and hospitals settings. Further, the growing trend of self-diagnostic & hospitals as prognostic approach would flourish the growth of the market.
Geographically, the global silastic implants market is segmented into five key regions viz. North America, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, Japan and the Middle East & Africa. North America will continue to dominate the global market due to the availability of advanced technologies and more number of laboratory developed tests. Europe is expected to hold second large market share in the global silastic implants market due to growing prevalence of chronic diseases.
Examples of some of the players identified in the global silastic implants market are Allergan, Arion Laboratories, Cereplas, Establishments Labs, GC Aesthetic etc. Majority of silastic implants are available as laboratory-developed tests. The hospitals which provide full silastic implants are Breach Candy hospitals, Apollo Groups of Hospitals, John Hopkins Hospital. Silastic implants testing varies at the regional level owing to variations in terms of available technologies used in laboratory developed silastic implants. However, silastic implants offers a global opportunity to its manufacturers, as these are the common tests perform globally.

Significant portion of the market has been covered by prosthetic silastic implants, ortho salistic implants, and breast silastic implants. Ortho silastic implants holds largest revenue share. This is due to higher incidence of accidents and fractures. Moreover, the awareness towards prognosis of Ortho Salistic Implants is on higher side for accidents, arthritis pains, and deformity in the joints which lead to strong positioning of these segments in overall market. Technologically advanced materials used for silastic implants of bones and joints is the main reason why ortho silastic implants have the more market share.
