Abstract

In 2008, the U.S. market for cast removal devices was valued at $12.6 million. This market encompasses cast saws, vacuums and replacement blades. The cast removal market is at a mature stage, with the aging population and increased fracture rate accounting for the two primary drivers. Vacuum sales are expected to grow at a higher rate relative to cast saws and blades, due to increased safety concerns.
