Global Flexible Endoscopes Market Outlook: Global Opportunity and Demand Analysis, By Product Type, By Application, By End Users & by Region with Forecast 2017-2030

Global Flexible Endoscopes Market Overview

Flexible endoscope is an optical instrument which is used to examine or detecting problems in interior part of body. In past few years the demand of flexible endoscopes has been increased in operation rooms and pre surgery treatments as it minimizes the post surgery complications. Rapid growth in ageing population suffering from cancer, gastrointestinal infections is raising the patient preference towards endoscopy, thus increasing the demand of flexible endoscopes devices. In 2017 nearly 22 million people suffered from chronic gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) out of which only 12 million people used medical treatments. Increasing demand of endoscopy is contributing in favorable reimbursement policies which are significantly boosting the requirement of flexible endoscopes in gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Minimal invasive therapy is an advanced innovation in endoscopic procedure. Top players of flexible endoscopes market are introducing equipments with advance designs to provide comfort and precision during diagnosis. In January 2017, Boston Scientific Corporation introduced LithoVu, a single-use digital flexible ureteroscope to diagnose and treat stones for minimally invasive surgery. This new flexible ureteroscopes is a cost-effective solution which helps in providing high resolution images and accurate navigation.

However, preventive measure to avoid infection taken during endoscopy procedure is a vital part and where government is also participating to set up standard regulations for cleaning endoscopes. For instance, in 2017, the Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (SGNA) Inc. of Chicago, introduced prevention and cleaning standards for flexible endoscopes and all hospitals and surgery centers should change the conventional practices for cleaning flexible endoscopes. In the same year, the Association of preoperative Registered Nurses (AORN) of Denver, introduced “Guideline for Cleaning and Processing Flexible Endoscopes and Endoscope Accessories” which covered pre-cleaning, visual inspection and storage of flexible endoscopes.
