Market Fundamentals                                                                                          

Hernia is characterized by protrusion of internal organs through the outer muscle layer in any body part. Hernia mostly occurs in the abdominal cavity or lower body and can also appear between the hips or chest. In some cases, a hernia can be noticed through the naked eyes, depending on its size and position, and in some cases, it can manifest into life-threatening complications. Hernia is treated with implantation of mesh or barriers through open or laparoscopic surgeries.
