“Advancement in Duodenoscope Technology and the Development of Single-Use Duodenoscopes.”
- One of the prominent trends in the duodenoscopes market is the shift towards single-use duodenoscopes, which provide a safer alternative by eliminating the risk of cross-contamination associated with reusable devices
- Traditional reusable duodenoscopes have been linked to challenges in cleaning and sterilization, leading to a growing demand for single-use models that can be discarded after a single procedure to ensure higher safety standards
- The FDA has approved several single-use duodenoscopes, including those from olympus corporation and Boston scientific, driving healthcare facilities to adopt these devices to enhance patient safety and minimize infection risks
- The growing number of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) procedures worldwide has contributed to the rise in demand for innovative and safer duodenoscope technology
- For Instance, Boston scientific introduced its exalt model d single-use duodenoscope, which is gaining traction in healthcare facilities due to its ease of use and the significant reduction in infection risks compared to reusable options
