COVID-19 Impact on Orthopedic Braces and Support Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every facet of the healthcare industry including, orthopedic braces and supports.

Regular orthopaedic practice has been considerably impacted by the pandemic.

Surgery schedules have been revamped, with elective cases being instantly delayed or cancelled and urgent cases demanding huge attention, particularly in suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases.

This is having a measurable impact on inpatient management, accenting the need for dedicated personnel, patient quarantine and limited visiting hour regulation.

On the flip side, outpatient visits have been restricted to avoid contacts between patients and the hospital staff, with notable implications on post-operative quality of care delivery and healthcare professionals.

The pandemic has rapidly spurred the adoption of telehealth options such as performing non-urgent check-ups and post-operative visits via electronic mediums instead of in-person.

Visits are being organized by video or by phone. This sudden adoption of telemedicine has triggered a process that would have, otherwise, taken far longer to execute on such a global level.
