Prosthetic Liners Market
Prosthetic liner is a protective cover developed from a flexible material, which is fitted on a residual limb, and connects the prosthetic socket. It helps to reduce friction between the residual limb and prosthetic socket, and provides better comfort to patients who use prosthesis devices. Prosthetic liners are developed from materials such as silicone, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and polyurethane. Market players are focused on development of prosthetic liners with smart materials that can repair themselves, or change their shape, thickness, and softness.
Market Dynamics
Increasing number of trauma cases and accidental injuries is expected to drive growth of the market. For instance, according to the report published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in 2016, 8.6 million injuries from sports and recreational activities were reported in the U.S. Therefore, increasing number of accidents may lead to higher instances of prosthetic device implants, thereby fuelling growth of the prosthetic liners market.
Moreover, increasing technological advancements and product development in the prosthetic liners market are expected to drive growth of the market. For instance, in 2014, Willow Wood launched the new Alpha SmartTemp Liner to moderate the onset of sweat and enhance patient comfort.
However, factors such as moisture control, skin health, and low durability mechanical testing of prosthetic liners are expected to hamper growth of the market.
