The implantable medical devices are man-made devices that are placed inside or on the surface of the body to replace a missing biological structure or to support a damaged biological structure and to enhance an existing biological structure. The implantable medical devices are helping many patients to improve their quality of life through surgical procedures The implants can be used in different body parts for numerous applications such as pacemakers, orthopedics, cardiovascular stents, neural prosthetics or drug delivery system, and defibrillators.. The surface of implantable medical devices is made up of biomedical materials such as titanium, silicone, or some other material depending upon the desired compatibility and application. Implantable medical devices can be removed when they are no longer needed or they can be placed permanently.

Technological advancements in cardiac implant to drive the implantable medical devices market

New technology in the implantable medical devices with various benefits is the major factor driving the growth of the market. For instance, novel technology of patient specific implants using 3D technology and sculptural CAD, have numerous benefits over off-the-implants.
