Global Patient Warming Devices Market Is Expanding Owing To Growing Prevalence Of Chronic Diseases And Increasing Demand From The Healthcare Industry

                                           Patient Warming Devices Market

 Overview:

Reusable patient warming devices have proven effective at preventing peri-operative hypothermia, particularly when used in conjunction with forced air warming systems. These devices are designed to maintain a normal body temperature prior to surgery, during the procedure and following recovery. To prevent perioperative hypothermia, many types of warming equipment have been developed. These devices can help prevent inadvertent hypothermia and reduce surgical site infections, length of hospital stay and costs per patient. The most common and widely used method of preventing peri-operative hypothermia is forced air (FAW) warming. These FAW devices provide a high degree of control and comfort to patients. They are effective at raising core temperature, reducing heat loss and maintaining normothermia. These devices use a heat pump to circulate warm water through a patient-worn garment. This can promote tissue perfusion and improve subcutaneous to core warming. These devices provide a subatmospheric load to the hand and forearm.

Market Dynamics:

Rising technological advancements are estimated to augment growth of the global Patient Warming Devices Market during the forecast period. For instance, Quantum Blood and Fluid Warming System was launched by LifeWarmer in May 2022. This revolutionary product has been successful in closing a critical ability divide which was earlier left by other commercial fluid warmers. Moreover, lack of skilled professionals is estimated to restrain growth of the global patient warming devices market during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19:

 

COVID-19 was first identified in 2019, which led to shutting down of many nations. COVID-19 spread rapidly and it affected many other nations globally. Several nations had to impose strict regulatory measures for preventing further spread of the virus. The healthcare sector was adversely affected by the pandemic, causing a shortage of medical supplies. There was a shortage of skilled medical professionals globally, owing to increasing number of COVID-19 cases. Many surgeries and other treatments were delayed or cancelled due to the pandemic, as hospitals were running on full capacity. Another reason was that there was a huge risk of spreading the infection, so many patients were being monitored remotely. This hampered the growth of the global patient warming devices market.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

The global patient warming devices market is anticipated to witness robust growth, exhibiting CAGR of 4.3 % over the forecast period, due to growing product launches. For instance, in April 2021, MEQU, a Danish MedTech company launched M Station, an in-hospital solution for their M Warmer System, which is a blood and IV fluid warming device.

 

North America is anticipated to witness robust growth in the global patient warming devices market during the forecast period, due to rising prevalence of cardiac surgeries and growing healthcare expenditure in the market.
