According to Vision Research Reports, the medical device cleaning market size surpassed at US$ 3 Bn in 2020 and to reach 4.8 billion by 2028 with a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period 2021 to 2028.
Medical device cleaning is an essential and integral part of any surgical procedure. Most medical devices such as scalpels, scissors, retractors, forceps, and endoscopes, are reused in healthcare set ups. These need to be cleaned and sterilized properly prior to their use in subsequent surgical procedures in order to prevent any kind of infections and cross contamination among patients as well as healthcare workers. The medical device cleaning process comprises pre-cleaning, cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. In the whole process of medical device cleaning, different types of chemicals and detergents are utilized at each stage of the cleaning process. The type of chemicals and detergents used for medical device cleaning varies according to the type of medical device to be cleaned. Enzymatic and non-enzymatic detergents, glutaraldehyde, peracetic acid, and alcohol are widely utilized medical device cleaners across the globe.
Increase in incidence of hospital-acquired/associated infections (HAI)
Surge in number of surgeries
Automatic Cleaning Process Gains Popularity
Scientific advancements in therapeutic and diagnostic medicine have triggered the production of cutting-edge reusable medical devices. However, due to the risk of cross-contamination and a range of other infections, medical device manufacturers have the responsibility to validate their product label claims as far as reusability is concerned. Label guidelines require approval from the Food and Drug Association (FDA) to ensure the overall efficacy and safety of the provided guidelines. The efficacy of the guidelines primarily depends on the markers utilized to soil the devices prior to cleaning. Some of the most commonly used markers include hemoglobin and protein.
Medical device cleaning techniques have evolved over the years and are one of the most critical stages in the reprocessing of reusable medical devices. Cleaning techniques are primarily segregated into manual and automatic processes. Manual medical device cleaning processes are largely deployed to clean highly complex and delicate medical devices, such as lensed instruments, microsurgical devices, and flexible endoscopes among others. Automated cleaning techniques are predominantly used when other cleaning techniques prove to be ineffective, to prevent soiling of crevices, joints, lumens, and other parts of a medical device. Within the medical device cleaning market, the automatic cleaning process segment is estimated to reach a value of ~US$ 2 Bn and account for ~63% share of the medical device cleaning market by the end of 2020. The automatic cleaning process segment is also projected to expand at a higher CAGR than manual cleaning process segment during the forecast period (2021-2028).
