Innovations in Medical Devices with Bovine-based Collagen
The Rise of Bovine Collagen in Dental and Oral Surgery
The dental and oral surgery sector is a major application area that is contributing significantly to the growth of the bovine-based collagen for biomedical applications market. Bovine collagen is a versatile and effective material in a variety of dental procedures, particularly those involving bone and soft tissue regeneration. It is widely used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures, where collagen membranes act as a barrier to prevent the ingrowth of unwanted cells, allowing bone and gum tissue to regenerate in a controlled manner. The dental segment is a key component of the Bovine-based Collagen for Biomedical Applications Market report.
In implant dentistry, bovine collagen-based bone grafts are used to restore the jawbone, providing a solid foundation for the dental implant. This is particularly important for patients who have suffered bone loss due to periodontal disease or tooth extraction. Additionally, collagen sponges and gels are used as hemostats to control bleeding and promote healing in oral surgeries. The biocompatibility and biodegradability of bovine collagen make it an ideal material for these applications, as it integrates seamlessly with the surrounding tissues and is eventually absorbed by the body. As the demand for dental implants and other advanced oral surgeries continues to rise, the use of bovine collagen products in this sector is expected to grow exponentially.
