Global Acute Care Needleless Connectors Market Trends and Insights
Simple Needleless Connectors are Expected Register a High Growth Rate
Simple needleless connectors are less expensive and have fewer parts as compared to complex needleless connectors. Simple needleless connectors have no internal mechanism. There are 2 basic designs of simple connectors. One design requires the use of a blunt plastic cannula attached to the administration set or syringe and inserted through the prepierced septum of the needleless connector. The other design eliminates the blunt plastic cannula and allows the male luer end of an administration set or syringe to be inserted into the prepierced septum.
Simple needleless connectors are thus found to be common in surgical operations. The number of emergency department visits is continuously increasing at a rate faster than the population growth of United States. Hence as the number of emergency visits is increasing, the demand for simple needleless connectors is expected to increase as well.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Acute Care Needleless Connectors Market
North America has emerged as one of the highest revenue generating region due to the factors including rising awareness levels among healthcare practitioners pertaining to the advantages associated with needleless connectors, improved healthcare infrastructure and rapid growth in geriatric population.
