The increasing need for procedures relating to body reconstruction is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the scaffold technology market. These procedures utilize medical or surgical techniques to augment, repair, or revitalize body structures that have been damaged or altered to enhance their appearance and functionality. The driving forces behind the demand for reconstruction procedures include escalating cases of trauma, inherent anomalies, and a prominent desire for aesthetic modifications. The role of scaffold technology in body reconstruction is to provide a supportive structure to facilitate tissue repair and regeneration, effectively renewing damaged sections. As an illustration, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government body in Australia, reported in December 2023 that the number of patients admitted for surgery from public hospital elective surgery waiting lists in 2022-23 was 735,500; this marked an 18% increase compared to the previous year, 2021-22. Hence, the surging demand for body reconstruction procedures is fueling the growth of the scaffold technology market.

Leading businesses in the scaffold technology industry are prioritizing the development of innovative and progressive solutions, such as bioresorbable scaffolds. These structures, which are biocompatible and dissolve gradually, are meant to provide a temporary support for the growth and regeneration of tissue. A case in point is the launch of the FreesolveTM Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold (RMS) by BIOTRONIK, a medical technology firm based in Germany, in February 2024. The Freesolve RMS stands out for its capability to completely dissolve within a year, making it a dependable substitute for drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery lesions. Proving its reliability are its BIOmag magnesium alloy which guarantees temporary support for the vessel and its superior safety, deliverability, and performance. The scaffold's available variety in sizes and lengths for customized treatments contribute to its reputation as an exceptional option for cardiovascular interventions, primarily because it naturally harmonizes with the human body.
