Market Insights

Increasing Prevalence of Neurosurgeries Drives Skull Clamp Market Growth

Skull clamps are routinely used in cranial neurosurgical procedures and selected cervical procedures. Its demand is majorly driven by rising incidences of traumatic brain injury, brain aneurysms or cerebral aneurysms, and Parkinson’s disease, leading to a growing number of neurosurgeries. According to data published by the Brain Aneurysm Foundation in 2020, ~6.5 million people in the US, i.e., 1 in 50 persons, suffer from an unruptured brain aneurysm every year; likewise, ~30,000 people suffer from cerebral aneurysm rupture yearly. The data also reveals that ~40.0% of ruptures are fatal and need intensive care and immediate attention. Per the National Library of Medicine information in 2022, the global prevalence of cerebral aneurysms was ~3.2%, with a mean age of 50 and an overall 1:1 gender ratio; this ratio changes significantly among people of age 50 and above to reach 2:0, with the predominance of females.

Further, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in 2019, ~23,820 adults and 3,720 children in the US were diagnosed with primary cancerous tumors in the spinal cord and brain. Patient positioning and head fixation are the most important aspects of all brain surgeries. These procedures require an accurate understanding of the scalp and skull anatomy, and the process for approaching aneurysms. Thus, the increasing prevalence of brain cancer, brain aneurysm, and other neurological diseases is a critical factor driving the growth of the skull clamp market.

Product-Based Insights

Based on product, the skull clamp market is segmented into three-pin skull clamp, four-pin skull clamp, and two-pin skull clamp. In 2022, the three-pin skull clamp segment held the largest market share, and it is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. A three-pin skull clamp includes a C-shaped frame that partially encircles the head of the patient, with a spring-loaded single skull pin assembly located at one end of the frame. This assembly is adapted to engage the head of the patient with a desired engagement force, with two-spaced skull pins mounted to a rocker arm located at the opposite end of the frame. Each of the rocker arm skull pins resides in operative contact with an indicator cap held by a spring-loaded pin carrier assembly; the indicator cap is movable relative to the rest of the pin carrier assembly, and it may move in response to the engagement force applied to the corresponding skull pin by the head of the patient. The 3-pin skull clamp is the most popular pin-type head frame and is equipped with a force gauge integrated into the torque screw on the side with one pin.

What is skull clamp?

A skull clamp is one of the cranial fixation system devices that is used in spinal surgeries when rigid fixation is required. Skull clamps are also used in open, critical, and percutaneous craniotomies. They are typically used for the fixation of the head and neck during neurosurgical procedures. Brain surgeries are delicate and need to be performed very carefully, as a little slippage of the skull pin may lead to serious injury to patients, and in some cases, death. Cranial fixation system devices are specifically designed for structural stability of the skull to ensure smooth functioning of head or brain surgeries.
