One of the most notable Distraction Osteogenesis Devices Market trends is the move toward "keyhole" surgery for device placement. Traditional methods often required large incisions that left significant scarring and required long hospital stays. Modern distractors, however, are designed to be inserted through small incisions using specialized guides, which significantly reduces blood loss and post-operative pain.

This trend toward less invasive surgery is not just a benefit for the patient; it also lowers the overall cost of care by reducing hospital stay duration. As outpatient surgical centers continue to proliferate, many distraction procedures that once required a multi-day hospital stay are now being performed as same-day or overnight surgeries.
