Global Pulsed Lavage Devices Market - 2023-2030

Market Overview

Global Pulsed Lavage Devices Market reached US$ 323.8 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 603.9 million by 2030 growing with a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Increasing incidence and prevalence of orthopedic diseases and wound care management, evolving treatment landscape, and the growing advancements in pulsed lavage systems are some of the major factors expected to drive over the forecast period.

Pulsed lavage (or pulsatile jet lavage) is commonly used in procedures like orthopedic joint replacement (hip, knee, and shoulder), wound care, and trauma. Using a combination of pulsed irrigation and suction, it is perfect for wound debridement procedures effectively removing contamination and debris from the operating site. Additionally, It ensures better visibility, helps prepare the bone for cement, and removes debris or microbes that can cause infection.

Pulsed lavage systems can be of three types, disposable, semi-disposable, and reusable. Single-use or disposable surgical instruments eliminate the possibility of cross-contamination between patients. This is particularly applicable to its role to reduce surgical site infections (SSI) and nosocomial infections. Studies suggest that pulsed lavage improves tissue regrowth by removing dead tissue without disrupting normal tissue.

Market Dynamics

Increasing Geriatric Population is Expected to Drive the Market

The rising geriatric population is seen lately as many countries have had geriatric people for long years. Geriatric people need care and assistance in maintaining their health. These people are over 60 years and will be dependent on other people such as family, peers, etc. The number of geriatric people had been on the rise lately all over the world.

For instance, on 1 October 2022, World Health Organization released an article stating that all countries face major challenges to ensure that their health and social systems are ready to make the most of this demographic shift., In 2050, 80% of older people will be living in low- and middle-income countries.

Likewise, by 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or over. At this time the share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion). Most geriatric people need orthopedic and wound care management for their lifetime. Thus, owing to the above factor, the rise in the geriatric population is expected to drive market growth in the forecast period.

Rising Number of sports injuries is expected to drive the market growth

Injuries during sports require immediate attention and care by the wound care management team and orthopedic team in most cases. For instance, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information in 2022, 11% of competing athletes had a reported medical encounter for a new or recurrent injury, and nearly 3% had at least one illness during the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. The incidence and characteristics of injuries and illnesses in training and competition varied greatly among different sports.

Likewise, according to the German Journal of sports medicine, there was a clear difference in this prevalence according to the injury circumstances with a higher prevalence of injured athletes due to training injuries (60% (95%CI 50 to 70%)) than competition injuries (23% (95%CI 15 to 31%)). This might be due to lower exposure to competition. Thus, the rising number of sports injuries is expected to drive the market in the forecast period.

High Risks Associated with Pulsed Lavage Systems are expected to Hamper the Growth of the Market

There are drawbacks for using pulsed lavage, including high rebound bacterial contamination. The high pressure of pulsatile lavage causes increased depth of bacterial penetration and greater deep bacterial retention in soft tissue when compared with low-pressure lavage. The major drawback to pulse irrigation is that it is extremely messy and can easily contaminate the patient's surroundings, putting other patients and the person operating the device at risk.

Segment Analysis

The Global Pulsed Lavage Devices Market is segmented based on product, usability, power source, application, end-user, and region.

The Disposable Pulsed Lavage Device Segment Accounted for Approximately 37.7% of the Market Share due to the development of new products

Cleaning wounds by pulsatile lavage is an effective procedure to reduce bacterial contamination of different surfaces. It could also be shown that pulsating jet lavage was more effective in reducing bacterial population, and removal of necrotic tissue and foreign particles from the wounds compared to using a bulb syringe alone.

For instance, according to Armstrong Medical in 2023, OSRON is a fully disposable, sterile pulsed lavage system offering powerful pressure for effective irrigation and debridement during orthopedic surgery. OSRON has been specifically designed to provide exceptional debridement results in a simple-to-use, lightweight device, with LED light and 2-speed settings. Also includes a 3cm wide cone tip & 20cm long canal tip. OSRON operates with an AC adaptor or Rechargeable Battery Pack. Thus, owing to increasing development activities, the disposable pulsed lavage devices segment is expected to hold the largest share in the market.

Geographical Penetration

North America Accounted for Approximately 39.8% of the Market Share in 2022, Owing to the Presence of Major Players and Advanced Healthcare Infrastructure

The presence of major players in the pulsed lavage devices industry, including pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and contract development and manufacturing organizations. North America has a robust biopharmaceutical and healthcare technology industry and a strong focus on research and development activities related to medical devices. The presence of these key players with expertise in pulsed lavage systems/devices has boosted the market in the region.

Additionally, North America benefits from advanced healthcare infrastructure and a supportive regulatory environment. The United States, in particular, has regulatory agencies that have established frameworks and expedited pathways for developing and approving new devices and wound care management-based products. The regulatory environment in North America has been conducive to pulsed lavage devices innovation and commercialization, attracting investments and fostering growth in the market.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the pulsed lavage devices market include Cardinal Health, Inc., Smith & Nephew plc, Zimmer Biomet, Stryker Corporation, MicroAire Surgical Instruments LLC, Judd Medical Ltd., Molnlycke Health Care AB, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Armstrong Medical, De Soutter Medical, Heraeus Holding among others.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the Global Pulsed Lavage Devices Market. The pandemic has created a surge in demand for new medical devices, particularly in the development and production of COVID-19 vaccines. The urgent need for large-scale manufacturing of these devices has led to increased demand and pressure on pulsed lavage systems.

Moreover, the focus of research and development efforts shifted during the pandemic, with a significant emphasis on developing vaccines and treatments for COVID-19. This diversion of resources and attention may have temporarily impacted the progress of research and development activities.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict Analysis

The Russia-Ukraine conflict is estimated to have a moderate impact on the Global Pulsed Lavage Devices Market. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine disrupted global supply chains, including those involved in medical device manufacturing. Ukraine is a significant producer of raw materials, chemicals, and pharmaceutical products used in the biopharmaceutical and healthcare technology industry. Any disruptions in the supply of these critical components could affect the manufacturing processes and production capacity of pulsed lavage systems globally.
