Collagen and HA-Based Biomaterials Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019 Biomaterials are referred to as natural or synthetic materials intended to use in several applications such as prosthetics, therapeutic, diagnostic and storage applications. These materials come in contact with various elements of biological systems such as biological fluids and various tissues. These materials can either be obtained from nature or synthesized in the laboratory with help of various chemical synthesis procedures. Based on the nature of the biomaterials there are three types of biomaterials used namely, naturally derived materials, semi-synthetic or hybrid and synthetic biomaterials. Metals, polymers, ceramics and composites are some of the examples of synthetic biomaterials and natural biomaterials that comprises animal or plant derived biomaterials such as various proteins (collagen, elastinand others). Browse Full Report: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/collagen-habased-biomaterials.html Collagen is one of the most abundant form of proteins present in the human body, use of these biomaterials in the tissue engineering have increased extensively. This is attributed by its features such as biodegradability, easy availability, versatility and biocompatibility. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is referred to as a natural substance present in body fluids, highest concentration being in eye and joint fluids. The U.S. FDA has approved the use of HA during certain surgical procedures such as cataract removal, eye surgery, corneal transplantation and others. Collagen and HA based biomaterials have potential applications in the field of regenerative medicine, personal healthcare, development of prosthetics and various aesthetic procedures. The collagen and HA based biomaterials market can be segmented based on product type, applications and geography. Collagen biomaterials comprise urinary incontinence implants, stress incontinence, collagen corneal shields and others. Facial dermal fillers, HA soft tissue fillers and HA based viscosupplements are some of the HA based biomaterials. The geographic segmentation comprises of four major regions namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and RoW.
