Sharps Safety Devices Market by Product (Injection Equipment, Blood Collection Equipment, IV Insertion Equipment, Safety Lancets, Safety Scalpels, Safety Knives) & by Technology (Retractable and Passive) - Analysis & Global Forecasts to 2020
Healthcare regulations refer to sharp instruments as medical objects or instruments necessary for the exercise of specific health care activities such as making cuts or pricks. The users of these objects/instruments (the healthcare providers) bear a significant risk of injury and/or are susceptible to infections if the sharp is contaminated with infectious blood. Sharps injuries are primarily associated with occupational transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but they have been implicated in the transmission of more than 20 other pathogens. Sharps safety devices have engineering controls that are built into the product and prevent sharps injuries.
The global sharps safety devices market is segmented on the basis of product, technology, application, and region. By product, the sharps safety devices market is categorized into injection equipment, IV medication delivery systems, IV insertion equipment, blood collection equipment, safety lancets, safety scalpels, safety knives, and other surgical sharps protection devices. On the basis of technology, the sharps safety devices market is divided into retractable safety and passive safety. The sharps safety devices market, by application, is segmented into surgicals, blood collection, diagnostics, and home settings. On the basis of regions, this market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW: Latin America and Middle East & Africa).
Rising incidences of sharps injuries, innovative devices aimed at reducing the risk of needlestick injuries, and perceived risk of pathogen transmission from needlestick injuries are major factors driving the growth of this market. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 385,000 needlestick injuries occur annually; this, however, creates a potential market for sharps safety devices. Moreover, increasing concerns of occupational exposure to blood-borne viruses is likely to create opportunities for market growth. However, loss of tactile sensation during the use of certain devices, and technological inefficiencies such as slow flashback are likely to pose as a restraint for the growth of the market.
Some of the major players in the global sharps safety devices market include Alimed, Inc. (U.S.), Ansell Sandel Medical Solutions LLC (U.S.), B. Braun Medical Inc. (U.S.), Beckton, Dickson and Company (U.S.), Bunzl Healthcare (U.K.), Beaver Visitec International, Inc. (U.S.), Covidien Ltd. (U.S.), HTL Strefa S. A.
