Point-of-Care Vascular Visualization Devices Targeting Improved Access Success Rates

(Nashua, NH) – As medical technology continues to advance and the number of invasive procedures grows, device developers and designers increasingly focus on patient-friendly products that address existing needs while improving patient acceptance and caregiver benefits. One of the most common procedural markets for commercially viable devices is peripheral vascular access.

The ability of the caregiver to identify a suitable vein for IV insertion is a key performance factor that has a direct impact on the patient experience. Vascular visualization devices that assist in the identification and location of superficial veins for access procedures have been available for the past ten years. The number of devices in this segment has grown to more than a dozen, encompassing three distinct visualization technologies and numerous form factors.

More than half of the devices currently being marketed are based on visible light technology, the option with the lowest price point. Devices that utilize infrared energy provide enhanced performance and feature sets. At the high end of the market are visualization products that are based on ultrasound.

Across all segments the uptake in the market has been slow. This is in part due to the expense of the models with features that improve the value equation. It also reflects the publication of several clinical trials that cast doubts on the ability of vascular visualization to improve the accuracy of vascular access relative to traditional non-product based methods.

Applied Market Data has researched this evolving market and incorporated survey findings in a new report. Point-of-Care Vascular Visualization Devices is a comprehensive assessment of this niche device segment. The report includes comprehensive analysis of commercial products, competitive technologies, form factors and feature, key markets and applications and economic factors. The report also includes profiles of market sector participants and industry data and forecasts.
