Increasing focus on creating new methods of active barrier protection using negative pressure to reduce the risk of airborne transmission of infectious diseases in hospitals and triage settings is expected to aid in growth of the medical vacuum system market. In April 2021, Scone Medical Solutions Inc., a medical device company, received the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which is directed to a system of creating a Self-Contained Negative Pressure Environment (SCONE) to remove airborne particulates from an environment.
Emergence of Covid-19 is also expected to aid in growth of the medical vacuum system market. Globally, as of 5:16pm CEST, 28 April 2021, there have been 148,329,348 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 3,128,962 deaths, as reported to the World Health Organization.
Medical vacuums are widely used for the patient's medical care in various ways. Earlier, in the early of 1960s, healthcare services realized the hazards of the use of large, high-pressure cylinder of medical vacuums for patient care. In place of this, medical vacuums and other vacuum systems are now offered by medical vacuum's pipeline system (MTVS). The technology behind these devices is based on the principles of pressurized gas and air, which are capable of delivering high pressures to desired areas in the medical field. Therefore, this technology has made it a boon to various healthcare industries and technicians.
Adoption of medical vacuum in anesthetic gas delivery system is expected to aid in growth of the medical vacuum system market. There are various reasons why this vacuum pump is used as an anesthetic gas delivery system. It can be used in hospitals to manage patient fluid loss or excessive air flow. For this reason, the system can also be installed at the operating room for maintenance purposes. The anesthetic gases provided by the anesthetic air system are of low concentration and of a low dose. As per the size of the anesthetic gas delivery system, the pipes and fittings need to be installed properly. The length of the pipe needed depends on the amount of anesthetic gas delivered, while the diameter of the anesthetic tube depends on the diameter of the outlet pipe. Moreover, the length of the piping needed also depends on the amount of gas capacity needed to operate the anesthetic gas delivery system. Thus, the installation process takes time and sometimes may require professional help.
Players in the medical vacuum system market also offer accessory mechanisms such as expansion valves and inlet filters. These accessories help prevent backflow of contaminated air into the system. Backflow prevention is a major mechanism for preventing contamination in the anaerobic environments found around hospitals. All these accessories help maintain the quality of the product and extend its life span.
