Tip Location Devices Market Global Analysis Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019 - 2027
Tip location devices or systems are widely used in vascular systems to position catheters. These systems are typically used during peripherally inserted central catheterization procedures; however, there is a risk of malposition in chronically ill patients. However, technological advancements have resulted in the development of tip locators that place catheters using technologies such as fluoroscopy and ECG. Fluoroscopy is an expensive technique for the procedure, so ECG is commonly used instead. The ECG technique is combined with an electromagnetic system to guide positioning in the superior vena cava, followed by intracavity ECG to guide positioning at the cavoatrial junction.
Tip location devices help physicians accurately locate the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip while exposing patients to less radiation than procedures such as chest X-rays. Such benefits of tip location devices are expected to drive growth in the global Tip Location Devices Market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the use of tip location devices is less time consuming than X-ray for tip location confirmation, which is expected to aid in market growth. The time required by a PICC nurse to insert a blind PICC is approximately 62.4 minutes, as opposed to 57.5 minutes for PICC insertion with the Sherlock 3CG Tip Confirmation System, a significant reduction of five minutes in protocol completion according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
