ANTI-INFECTIVE ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2024-2031)

Anti-Infective Endotracheal Tube Market, By Product Type (Coated Endotracheal Tubes, Silver-Coated Endotracheal Tubes, Antibiotic-Coated Endotracheal Tubes, Uncoated Endotracheal Tubes), By Material (Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Silicone, Polyurethane, Others (Rubber, Nylon, etc.)), By End User (Hospitals, Intensive Care Units (ICUs), Emergency Departments, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Other Healthcare Settings), By Geography (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa)

In June 2023, Teleflex Incorporated, a prominent global provider of medical technologies that specializes in critical care and surgical procedures, issued a worldwide recall of specific batches of Rüsch Endotracheal Tube products. These devices are designed for oral or nasal intubation, facilitating airway management by inserting the tube into the patient's trachea through the nose or mouth. Stylets are used to assist in the placement of these endotracheal tubes into the trachea.
In August 2021, Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a coating for endotracheal tubes that releases antimicrobial peptides targeting specific bacteria. In a proof-of-concept study, the coating demonstrated consistent peptide release over two weeks, potentially reducing bacterial inflammation and preventing subglottic stenosis during intubation.
In May 2021, Medtronic launched the SonarMed airway monitoring system in the U.S., the first device using acoustic technology to detect endotracheal tube (ETT) obstructions and verify its position in real-time. This system provides critical information to help clinicians make informed, life-saving decisions for their smallest patients.
