LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio analysts expect the global advanced bipolar direct energy devices market 2016-2020 to exceed USD 1.5 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of over 14%, according to their latest report.
The global advanced bipolar direct energy device market is witnessing steady growth. Major vendors in the market are focusing on developing new and advanced bipolar surgical devices for high safety and accuracy in complicated surgical procedures. Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Karl Storz, Medtronic, and Olympus Medical Systems are the most prominent vendors.
According to Brahadeesh Chandrasekaran, a lead research analyst at Technavio for orthopedics and general medical devices, “The market is driven by the rise in global demand for minimally invasive surgery, which is likely to boost the market further during the forecast period. The application of bipolar energy to the surgical site reduces collateral damage in the surrounding tissue, which has led to increased adoption of these devices.”
Technavio’s lead healthcare and life sciences market research analysts have identified the following three factors that will drive the global advanced bipolar direct energy devices market:
- Inexpensive nature and reusability
- Superior ability to cut and seal
- Increased demand for minimally invasive surgeries
Inexpensive nature and reusability
Conventional devices such as staples and clips are becoming less popular, as bipolar electrosurgical devices are an effective and inexpensive method to coagulate tissue prior to dissection.
The introduction of innovative advanced products such as LigaSure, ENSEAL, and THUNDERBEAT is likely to increase the adoption of these devices because of their efficiency and long-term cost-effectiveness. These devices are disposable and reusable.
Manufacturers are also developing advanced bipolar devices with both sealing and transecting capabilities. Equipment that is developed by combining ultrasonic and transecting capabilities are in demand, as they can coagulate and cut at lower temperatures by converting electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Superior ability to cut and seal
Bipolar electrosurgical devices have the ability to cut and coagulate rapidly and use less power, making them ideal for surgical use. Electrosurgical current is passed and restricted only to the tissue in between the arms of forceps.
The device gives surgeons enhanced control over the targeted area, prevents damage to sensitive tissues, and eliminates risk of patient burn. It generates heat and increases temperature of the tissue, denatures it, and seals the blood vessels. As the electrical current flows, deposition is restricted only to bipolar electrodes.
It can also be used in patients with implanted devices such as pacemakers to prevent electrical current passing through the device and avoid short-circuits.
Increased demand for minimally invasive surgeries
The steadily increasing number of surgical procedures carried out worldwide each year is driving the demand for new and innovative bipolar energy devices. Technological advances in surgical techniques and enhancement in equipment handling has transformed surgical procedures, including the introduction of minimally invasive surgeries.
These surgeries are gaining popularity due to advantages such as faster recovery, less pain, fewer post-surgery infections, reduced scarring, bleeding control, and heightened accuracy. “Advanced bipolar direct energy devices are increasingly being used in these procedures, thus, widening the scope for market growth during the forecast period,” says Brahadeesh.
