Gaurav Yadav, a senior research analyst at Market.us, said, “The market for surgical retractors has seen a steady increase in volume due to increased surgeries such as knee and hip replacements and the rise in chronic illnesses like heart disease that need medical procedures. The business growth is further accelerated by adding a more experienced population less susceptible to various diseases.”
