Medical composites are advanced engineered materials that combine two or more different constituents to create a new material with improved performance characteristics. These constituents usually include a reinforcing fiber, such as carbon or glass, embedded in a matrix material, often a polymer. This combination yields a material with superior strength-to-weight ratio, enhanced durability, and the ability to withstand rigorous sterilization processes, essential in the medical field. Meanwhile, the increasing need for dental and orthopedics implant manufacturing has bolstered the demand for medical composites.
However, the high cost associated with medical composites and their limited functionality and biocompatibility is a significant challenge for manufacturers. Companies are constantly working towards research and development (R&D) activities to introduce novel solutions to the medical industry. Moreover, the application of 3D printing technology for manufacturing composite medical devices and implants presents a significant opportunity for the key players. The ability to produce patient-specific implants and devices tailored to individual needs is also an expanding field with considerable potential. Furthermore, advancements in bioresorbable composites offer new prospects in medical applications where materials can safely dissolve in the body after fulfilling their function.
