MEDICAL ILLUMINATION SYSTEMS MARKET ANALYSIS

Medical illumination systems are devices used to assist doctors during surgical procedures and examination of patients, by illuminating light on a local area. Medical illumination systems provide good illumination on flat, narrow, and deep surfaces in a cavity. Central illuminance of medical illumination system ranges between 40,000 and 160,000 lux. Light of medical illumination is helps distinguish the true color of the tissue in a cavity, owing to multiple light sources fixed to the system to help to reduce shadowing for consistent lighting despite obstacles such as head or hands of surgeons. In case of power cuts, the light is restored within five minutes from the supply cut with at least 50% of the pervious lux intensity and retains its original intensity within 40 seconds. Advanced medical illumination systems comprise software, which notifies users of cleaning the system to avoid contamination, color rendering index, correlated color temperature, disinfecting the system, handling of system in case of failure, and maintenance of hygiene. Medical illumination systems are required to be flexible in position, movement, and intensity control to allow one system to be used in different procedures.

Medical Illumination Systems Segment Analysis:-

LED lights are more beneficial than other, as they save more energy, and help maintain a lower and stable room temperature. This eventually helps maintain normal body temperature of patients, reduce site infection risks, improve healing of wounds, promote patient satisfaction, and reduce generation of heat and low ultraviolet radiation. Low radiation of light helps reduce the probability of drying of an exposed tissue.

Medical Illumination Systems Market Growth Drivers:-

Major driver for growth of the medical illumination systems market is the rising number of surgeries. According to National Health Statistics report 2017, ambulatory surgeries have increased in the U.S., since 1980s. This is attributed to increasing number of medical and technological advancements such as improvements in anesthesia or analgesics, and the development of minimally-invasive procedures, according to the report. Moreover, according to a survey conducted by National Center for Health Statistics, 1.2 million nervous system surgeries, 69,000 eye surgeries, 24,000 ear surgeries, 1.3 million respiratory system surgeries, 7.3 million cardiovascular surgeries, 6.1 million digestive system surgeries, 1.1 million urinary system surgeries, and 5.2 million musculoskeletal surgeries were performed in the U.S. in 2009. Increasing number of surgeries is thus expected to increase the demand for medical illumination systems. Rampant innovations in medical illumination systems is expected to drive growth of the medical illumination system market. For instance, Stryker Corporation, a U.S.-based medical technology company, launched Brechtold LED F generation in 2014. This device has multiple configuration and customizing options to control light during surgical procedures. It has precision beam technology design, which focuses on 650 beams of overlapping light into one homogenous light, this creates ideal depth and superior shadow prevention.

Medical Illumination Systems Market - Regional Analysis

North America medical illumination systems market is expected to hold the dominant position in the global market due to rising number of surgeries being performed in the region. According to a survey conducted by HCUP (Healthcare Cost and utilization Project) in 2017, ambulatory surgery clinics recorded over 11 million surgeries in the U.S. the market in Europe is expected to witness significant growth due to rampant innovation in technology of medical illumination systems in the region. For instance, in 2014, Brandon Medical—a medical lighting company—launched Quaser eLite that is integrated with HD LED technology, uniform lighting, unique optical design, color rendition, and ability to change the lighting by using an app or by Bluetooth. Hence, this device can be operated with ease and also has a long battery life, due to which there would be no hindrances in surgical procedures. Moreover, according to a survey conducted by OECD (Organization for Economic Corporation and Development) in 2016, over 1.3 million caesarean surgeries and over 6 million cardiovascular surgeries were performed in Europe.
