As the prevalence of chronic disorders such as cardiovascular, urological, and neurological diseases continues to rise, the demand for precise and efficient surgical procedures escalates. With a growing geriatric population and increasing cases of chronic diseases, there's a heightened need for elective surgical interventions. Additionally, the capacity constraints faced by hospitals and intensive care units emphasize the importance of handheld devices in facilitating minimally invasive surgeries and improving surgical efficiency. Moreover, advancements in technology have revolutionized surgical practices, enabling surgeons to perform intricate procedures with enhanced precision and safety.
Furthermore, the evolving landscape of healthcare infrastructure, particularly in developing countries, is driving the adoption of handheld surgical instruments. These regions are witnessing significant investments in healthcare facilities, leading to a surge in the demand for modern surgical tools to address the rising burden of chronic and infectious diseases. As healthcare providers prioritize surgical outcomes and strive for better patient care, handheld surgical instruments emerge as indispensable tools that enhance surgical precision, efficiency, and overall patient outcomes in diverse healthcare settings.
There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
The growing demand for single-use surgical instruments is driving growth in the market. In terms of surgical instruments, they are available in the disposable or reusable category and play an important role during surgery. Vendors offer several hand-held surgical instruments for single use to reduce the risk of surgical site infections and lower the chances of contamination.
Moreover, Cincinnati Surgical also offers a wide range of sterile surgical scalpels in various sizes that are accompanied by an excellent combination of steel and nickel blades on the unique handle. With titanium staples, they're single-use and refillable linear staplers. Thus, the growing demand for such disposable hand-held surgical instruments is expected to propel the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The risks and complications associated with surgical instruments are primary trends in the market. The instrument or device used in human surgical procedures like dissection, cutting, grasping, retraction, and suture surgery is called a surgical instrument. The patient may experience postoperative complications if the surgeon uses these instruments improperly or inaccurately and does not follow aseptic sterilization procedures. In addition, improper hygiene practices may facilitate the transmission of diseases and prolong hospitalization.
Also, there are a range of devices that assist in medical procedures which can lead to possible complications if they are used incorrectly. Many physicians and healthcare workers are prone to accidental cuts and puncture wounds. According to the CDC estimation, about 385,000 sharps-surgical-related instrument injuries occur annually among healthcare workers in hospitals in the US. Such potential risks associated with the use of surgical instruments might impact the growth of the market in focus negatively during the forecast period.
