Restraint

Regulatory barriers

The surgical drainage device companies have to follow the guidelines and regulations the regulatory authority makes. The surgical drainage devices market has to invest in its research and development, quality control, documentation, and testing to get surety with the standards made by the authority. Getting approval from the regulatory authority for surgical drainage devices is too hard. It is a time-consuming process to get approval for the new device. The devices that are approved by regulatory authorities may be expensive. In the different regions, there are different regulatory authority agencies for the devices. Some surgical drainage device manufacturers delay the development of new devices in the market due to regulatory authority. Due to these high prices and time-consuming regulatory authorities' processes, the market's growth may be negatively affected.

In the surgical drainage devices market, regulatory barriers include adhesion barriers. It includes clinical trial information that is in progress and the development stages.

Opportunities

Smart and connected surgical drainage devices

There are various types of smart surgical drainage devices in the market. The smart drainage devices market in the healthcare market provides devices that can transmit and monitor data and remote monitoring devices. Various types of devices help in early disease detection, are active processes in patient care, and are time-consuming. Connected surgical drainage devices continuously monitor and help in hospitals with patient needs. These smart and connected surgical drainage devices are personalized and efficient for the patients.

In that one of the glaucoma drainage devices (GDD) is the smart self-clearing glaucoma drainage device made in November 2018 for patients who are not responsive to the pharmacological surgery of glaucoma.

Product Type Insights

The active drains segment dominated the surgical drainage devices market in 2023. Active drains have features like customizable suction settings, enhanced drainage efficiency, and reduced risk of drain blockage. Active drains include the types of Blake drain, Jackson-Pratt drain, Redivac drain, EVD & Lumbar drain, Negative pressure wound therapy, Chest tube, and others. The active surgical drainage devices mostly use the negative pressure wound therapy from the surgical sight to drain the fluid. Active drains, also known as closed drains, are used in deep wounds where a large amount of fluid is drained. The suction device creates negative pressure, which is connected to these drains. Jackson-Pratt drain is an active drain that creates suction by using a plastic bulb to remove fluid. This Jackson-Pratt drain is used in breast, plastic, and abdominal surgeries.

A removal drain is also active, and the spring creates suction. The end of the drainage tube is attached to the plastic container of these drains. Radivac drain is a type of active drainage. When a tissue is removed during an operation, a thin PVC plastic tube is placed in the cavity, known as a Radivac drain. A plastic measuring bottle outside the body is connected to the tube stitched into the space. External ventricular drains (EVD) and lumbar drains are active drainage devices. Lumbar or EVD drains help reduce intracranial pressure and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. A chest tube is a plastic flexible tube inserted in the chest wall to remove fluid or air.

During the forecast period, the passive drains segment is the fastest-growing surgical drainage devices market. Passive drains, also known as open drains, are put in the wound, and the ends are open in the air to remove fluid. Penrose drainage is the passive drain in which a soft rubber tube is placed in the wound to remove the fluid from the body. The Penrose drain is used in thoracic surgery and abdominal surgery.

Application Insights

The thoracic and cardiovascular surgeries segment dominated the market in 2023. Due to the increase in cardiovascular diseases increases the application of this segment in the market. There is market demand for thoracic and cardiovascular surgeries for efficient and easy removal of fluid for chest drainage.
