Pulsed lavage is a type of mechanical hydrotherapy that uses an
irrigating solution under pressure produced by an electrically powered
device. This pressurized pulsed solution irrigates and debrides wounds
of necrotic tissue. Irrigation under pressure may be delivered
concurrently with suction to remove both irrigation solution and wound
debris, which helps to improve granulation tissue growth without
damaging the underlying normal tissues. Additionally, negative pressure
created by the suction stimulates granulation and helps in speedy
recovery of the wound. Pulsed lavage is used in wound cleansing to
remove debris and infectious agents from a wound’s surface. This type of
wound cleansing is also known as pulsatile lavage, mechanical lavage,
high-pressure irrigation, lavage, jet lavage, or mechanical irrigation.
This high-pressure wound irrigation system is commonly used in operating
rooms and wound care facilities.
The global pulse lavage systems market is projected to grow at a
rapid pace in the next few years due to rise in the number of surgical
procedures, technological advancements in development of surgical tools,
surge in number of orthopedic procedures, increase in geriatric
population, and rise in sports and road accident injuries. Growing
medical tourism and opportunities in developing economies also
contribute to the growth of the global pulse lavage systems market.
However, delay in wound healing due to high pressure irrigation acts as
restraint of the market.
The global pulse lavage systems market can be segmented based on
product type, usability, application, power source, and end-user. In
terms of product type, the market can be bifurcated into pulse lavage
devices & components and accessories. Based on usability, the global
pulse lavage systems market can be categorized into disposable pulse
lavage systems, semi-disposable pulse lavage systems, and reusable pulse
lavage systems. The disposable lavage systems segment accounted for the
largest market share in 2017, as these systems do not need maintenance
and have low chances of cross-contamination. In terms of application,
the market can be classified into orthopedics, wound care, and trauma.
The orthopedics segment accounted for the largest market share and is
expected to grow at a faster CAGR during the forecast period due to rise
in prevalence of bone disorders such as osteoarthritis because of
increase in geriatric population and obesity rates. Based on power
source, the global pulse lavage systems market can be divided into
battery-powered, gas-powered, and AC-powered. The battery-powered
segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is estimated
to expand at a faster CAGR due to high demand for battery powered
devices among end-users owing to high energy storage capabilities and
low maintenance cost. In terms of end-user, the market can be
categorized into hospitals & clinics and long-term care facilities.
The hospitals & clinics segment dominated the global pulse lavage
systems market in 2017 due to increase in admissions in hospitals for
surgical procedures and wound care.
In terms of region, the global pulse lavage systems market can be
segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and
Middle East & Africa. North America accounted for the largest share
of the global market in 2017 due to increase in the geriatric
population, rise in prevalence of bone disorders, surge in orthopedic
procedures, and relatively greater access to health care. Asia Pacific
is projected to be the fastest growing market due to high government
focus on health care sector, increase in the geriatric population, rise
in prevalence of chronic diseases, and economic growth in several
countries.
