New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/04/2015 -- Medical implants are artificial devices or tissues, which are used to replace damaged biological structures or enhance an existing biological structure. Some of the implants are made from skin, bone, or other body tissues. Others are made from metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. Medical implants can be permanent or can be taken out when they are no longer needed. There are some risks and complications associated with medical implantation, such as infections, surgical risks, and implant failure. Medical implants are used in areas such as cardiovascular, orthopedic, neurological disorders, dental, and others. Rising aging population and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases are some of the major driving factors for the medical implants market. Aged people are more susceptible to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, orthopedic disorders, endovascular diseases, and dental disorders, this being the major users of medical implants, such as kidney and heart implants, artificial joints implants, and eye implants.
