Global Peripheral I.V. Catheter Market 2014-2018 with Braun, CR Bard, Smiths Medical, Teleflex, Terumo & Becton Dickension Dominating
M2 - Wed Apr 16, 5:57AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zzpzkc/global_peripheral) has announced the addition of the "Global Peripheral I.V. Catheter Market 2014-2018 with Braun, CR Bard, Smiths Medical, Teleflex, Terumo & Becton Dickension Dominating" report to their offering. The Global Peripheral I.V. Catheter market to grow at a CAGR of 8.08 percent over the period 2013-2018. The Global Peripheral I.V. Catheter market is driven by several factors, a major one being the increasing aging population. The elderly require peripheral I.V. catheters to deliver drugs and nutrition, and for taking blood samples. Also, WHO statistics state that nearly 2 billion people will be aged 60 years and above by 2050, which will also enhance the market's growth in the future. One of the emerging trends in the market is the adoption of power-injectable closed catheters for the injection of contrast media during CT imaging. CT imaging requires a contrast media to be used for enhanced visualization during diagnostic procedures. However, the catheter must be strong enough to withstand pressures that can be more than 300 psi. Hence, power-injectable closed catheters are used for CT imaging as they are made of polyurethane material, which is much stronger than silicone and can withstand high pressures with a minimal decrease in flexibility. For example, BD Nexiva closed I.V. catheter of BD helps inject contrast media for contrast-enhanced CT scans. Further, the report states that the high cost of integrated/closed catheters is proving to be a hindrance to the adoption of these catheters, particularly in developing countries. Closed catheters are offered at an average selling price of more than US$4, which makes their adoption quite difficult in developing countries. Key Vendors - B.

Global Kidney Stones Management Devices Market 2014-2018 with Boston Scientific, Cook Medical, CR Bard, Olympus & Siemens Dominating
M2 - Wed Apr 09, 5:29AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/k43m46/global_kidney) has announced the addition of the "Global Kidney Stones Management Devices Market 2014-2018 with Boston Scientific, Cook Medical, CR Bard, Olympus & Siemens Dominating" report to their offering. The Global Kidney Stones Management Devices market will grow at a CAGR of 4.08 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the major drivers in this market is the increasing incidence of urolithiasis in the adult population, mostly among the old population. Nearly five million patients are diagnosed with kidney stones worldwide every year. ESWL is the most frequently used procedure for eliminating kidney stones. There is a growing use of this procedure because it is a non-invasive surgery performed by directing shock waves that are created outside the body and passed through skin and tissue to the target area. It is an effective procedure for the removal of kidney stones that are radio-opaque and less than 20 mm in size. ESWL is an outpatient procedure and the patient is able to return to their routine activities almost immediately. The procedure has a minimal analgesic requirement with a reasonable stone clearance rate. Thus, the growing number of ESWL procedures performed is a major trend in the Global Kidney Stones Management Devices market. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the adverse effects of lithotripsy shock waves which can often result in hypertension, diabetes, and in some cases permanent loss of functional renal volume.
