Patient Warming Devices Market is Expected to Witness Robust Growth with Smiths Medical Inc. Introducing Level 1 Convective Warmer, a Next-Generation High-Flow Convective Warmer

 

Patient warming devices come in many forms, each designed for a specific purpose. For example, some devices are made for offices that are out of the way or for doctor offices that are smaller in size. In addition, these applications are very easy to operate and can be used without requiring a great deal of training on the part of the patient or the medical professional using the device. However, there are certain devices that are extremely efficient and are recommended by both practitioners and medical associations across the country.

Increasing number of surgical procedures is expected to drive growth of the global patient warming devices market. According to the National Health Statistics Reports, in 2017, around 48.3 million surgical and nonsurgical procedures were performed in the U.S. with around 25.7 million ambulatory surgery procedures being performed in hospitals, while 22.5 million being performed in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). Patient warming devices are widely used in surgical procedures, which cover before and after surgery. As a result of this, the demand for patient warming devices has increased significantly. Hence, these factors are expected to drive growth of the global patient warming devices market. Furthermore, growing geriatric and infant population is expected to propel the global patient warming devices market growth in the near future. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global geriatric population is expected to account for around 22% of the global population by 2050.

Presence of alternative methods and stringent regulatory framework is expected to hinder the global patient warming devices market growth in the near future. Among regions, North America is expected to witness significant growth in the global patient warming devices market are increasing number of cardiac surgeries and growing healthcare expenditure in the U.S. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to register a robust growth rate, owing to the presence of high unmet needs in the region.
