Umbilical catheters are thin adaptable
tubes inserted in the artery or vein in the stump of an infant’s
umbilical cord. Umbilical catheters are utilized for the treatment of
premature babies. Umbilical catheter go about as an open section which
enables specialists to carry out the treatment effortlessly. These
catheters are utilized to provide special nutrition, drugs, and liquids
to a neonatal. Umbilical catheters are fundamentally of two types:
umbilical artery catheter and umbilical venous catheter. Umbilical
artery catheter is embedded into the artery of the umbilical cord to
remove blood for blood test and to check blood pressure. This catheter
requires less needlesticks to extract blood sample for blood test.
Umbilical venous catheter is embedded into the vein of umbilical cord to
provide liquid and drug to the newborn. This catheter requires
significant incision to supply pharmaceuticals and liquid to the
neonatal. According to FDA rules, umbilical catheter can be utilized for
seven days or less. If further treatment is required, specialists can
insert the peripheral catheter in the leg or arm.
Rise in number cases of premature births
and increase in number of neonatal care centers are the key factors
driving the global umbilical catheters market. The umbilical cord route
is not painful for neonates, as it has no pain receptors present. Hence,
insertion of umbilical cord catheter is comparatively easy for
physicians. Additionally, umbilical vessel catheter requires less
needlesticks. These factors are projected to drive demand for umbilical
catheter in the treatment of premature babies. The rising interest of
medicinal device producers for the research and development on the
neonatal items will help the development of this market. Blood gas
sample collection and blood pressure monitoring are possible using
umbilical vessel catheter. The risk of infection and blood coagulation
during treatment using umbilical vessel catheter is anticipated to
restrain the market. Moreover, lack of skilled personnel to handle
umbilical catheters and high cost are expected to hamper the growth of
the global umbilical catheters market during the forecast period.
The global umbilical catheters market can
be segmented based on product type and end-user. In terms of product
type, the market can be classified into umbilical artery catheters (UAC)
and umbilical vein catheters (UVC). The two segments accounted for
nearly equal market share in 2017. Based on end-user, the global
umbilical catheters market can be divided into hospitals and neonatal
care centers. The hospitals segment is held the largest market share in
2017, attributed to high preference for treatment of neonatals in
hospitals.
Geographically, the global umbilical
catheters market can be segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific,
Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America
accounted for the leading market share in 2027. The region is expected
to dominate the global market during the forecast period. Increase in
awareness, availability of advanced health care facilities and
infrastructure, and high health care expenditure are the major factors
fueling the growth of the umbilical catheters market in the region. Asia
Pacific is also a significant market for umbilical catheters. The
market in the region is likely to expand at a rapid pace in the next few
years. Improvement in health care infrastructure, increase in the
number of premature babies in developing countries such as India and
China, and surge in medical tourism across several developing economies
have contributed to the growth of the market in Asia Pacific.
Key players in the global umbilical
catheters market are Medtronic plc, Neotech Products, SURU International
Pvt. Ltd., Centurion Medical Products, Vygon SA, Anthelio Healthcare
Solutions, Inc., Utah Medical Products, Inc., and Hummingbird Medical.
