Market Synopsis
In the emergency room, lumbar puncture is a common operation used in the data collection for the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Lumbar puncture trays and needles are used for diagnostic indications such as acute bacterial meningitis, viral meningitis, encephalitis, subacute or chronic meningitis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and others; however, they are also occasionally used for therapeutic indications such as intrathecal drug administration and lowering intracranial pressure in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (e.g., spinal or epidural anesthesia, intrathecal chemotherapy).
There are adult and pediatric lumbar puncture trays available with normal or atraumatic needles. It has been demonstrated that the atraumatic needle's pencil-point design lowers the risk of Post-Lumbar Puncture Headaches (PLPH) in lumbar puncture patients. The adult trays come with a manometer that consists of two parts to use independently or together. Atraumatic (pencil-point) spinal needles create a smaller hole and less CSF leakage than conventional (cutting-type) needles do by separating the dura fibers rather than tearing them. When compared to using normal spinal needles, using atraumatic spinal needles has been proven to dramatically lower the incidence of post-lumbar puncture headaches.
Market Influencer
The growth of the lumbar puncture trays and needles market is attributed due to the increasing adoption of safety lumbar puncture trays and needles, the growing prevalence of chronic disorders, and the growing number of surgeries globally. For instance, according to Mölnlycke Health Care AB in 2021, 70 million surgical procedures are performed every year in Europe.The presence of well-known market players globally and various government initiatives to encourage the usage of single-use medical supplies to reduce infections are anticipated to support market expansion.
The market is likely to develop in response to the rising demand for lumbar puncture trays and needles. All of the tools and devices needed to perform a specific surgical or diagnostic operation are included in custom procedure kits. Although these kits are not utilized in every medical operation, they are recommended when treating spinal procedures, infections, and others. Physicians and healthcare practitioners can utilize custom lumbar puncture trays and needles trays to pick clean surgical instruments and tools for single-use. The pre-configured and pre-packaged trays and kits minimize the requirement for a massive inventory of individual components. Hence, prepacked bespoke procedural solutions help increase the quality of services as they aid in efficient inventory management.
Leading participants in the lumbar puncture trays and needles market include Teleflex, Avanos Medical, ICU Medical, Cardinal Health, BD, LSL Healthcare, Inc., Rocket Medical, and Busse Hospital Disposables, among others.
