According to FutureWise analysis the market for antibiotic-loaded bone cement is expected to register a CAGR of 8.22% from 2024-2032.
Antibiotic-loaded bone cement is a specialized medical material used in orthopedic surgery to treat infected joint arthroplasties and prophylaxes in total joint replacement, such as hip and knee replacements. It combines traditional bone cement with antibiotics in the form of powder or beads to provide several significant benefits. Surgeons may use antibiotic-loaded bone cement prophylactically during joint replacement surgery, even when there is no existing infection. This helps prevent infection from occurring in the first place, as the antibiotics are already present in the surgical area. In cases where an infection is suspected, antibiotic-loaded bone cement can be used as part of a surgical procedure to remove infected tissue and provide targeted antibiotic therapy to combat the infection. The choice of antibiotics used in the bone cement may vary depending on the surgeon's preference and the specific patient's conditions. Commonly used antibiotics include gentamicin, tobramycin, and vancomycin. The selection is based on their effectiveness against the most potential pathogens and local resistance patterns.
Selecting the appropriate antibiotic is a considerable issue. The chosen antibiotic should have a broad antibacterial spectrum, encompassing both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria while having a low prevalence of resistant strains. The most commonly mixed antibiotics are tobramycin and gentamicin (aminoglycosides known for their effectiveness against gram-negative bacteria) and vancomycin (a glycopeptide primarily active against gram-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus). Additionally, the antibiotic must provide a local concentration to overcome the “breakpoint sensitivity limit” of pathogens. This generally signifies a bacteria transition from being sensitive to becoming antibiotic-resistant for at least three to four weeks.
