Antimicrobial Catheter Market – Drivers
Increasing initiatives by research firms to develop safe-to-use catheters is expected to increase the antimicrobial catheter market share. For instance, in March 2019, researcher at Brown University announced the development of a new antibacterial coating for intravascular catheters, which is expected to prevent catheter-related bloodstream infections, the most common type of hospital-acquired infections.
Increasing incidences of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) is expected to boost growth of the antimicrobial catheter market. For instance, in April 2015, according to the research study results For Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) And Antibiotics Sensitivity Pattern from Confirmed Cases of CAUTI in Tertiary Care Hospitals, published in Clinical Microbiological journal, out of 1380 catheterized patients, 34 developed CAUTI. The overall incidence was 4.59 per 1000 catheter days.
