Steam Autoclave Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 – 2020

Autoclave is a device that sterilizes instruments using steam under pressure. Autoclaves are widely used commercially as well as in-house across the world. These are the metallic cylindrical vessels that provide physical method of sterilization of the equipment. Autoclaves works by inactivating or killing transmissible agents (such as bacteria, viruses and fungi) by means of steam, heat and pressure to sterilize equipment. Sterilization of equipment by steam autoclaves is a safe, fast and convenient option for sterilizing laboratory glassware, diagnostic equipment, surgical instruments and biomedical wastes. Autoclaves vary in function and size depending upon the media to be sterilized. Stages of operation in autoclave include air removal, steam admission (in the range of 121C-134 C) and sterilization cycle (heating, holding/exposure and cooling). Sterilization indicators (i.e. biological, chemical and physical indicators) are used to maintain correct temperature during the sterilization process.

The autoclave market is witnessing rapid growth as this device is reliable and requires low capital investment for installation in medical institutes such as hospitals and laboratories.

Medical Oxygen Concentrators Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 – 2020

The medical oxygen concentrators have been one of the most notable breakthrough developments in the long-term oxygen therapy support. An oxygen concentrator is an electrically operated medical device used to provide purified or concentrated oxygen to a patient seeking oxygen therapy. These devices work on principle of pumping air into the device which then separates oxygen and deliver it to patients in a continuous manner. Medical oxygen concentrators use rapid swing adsorption method in which atmospheric nitrogen is adsorbed on an adsorbent such as zeolite mineral leaving oxygen as the primary gas.

Oxygen concentrators are considered as safer, easy to use and inexpensive devices compared to compressed oxygen cylinders. These devices are often prescribed to patients suffering from chronic pulmonary diseases such as severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Couple of decades ago, there were only stationary oxygen concentrators which were fairly bulky in size. These heavy oxygen concentrators limited the patient mobility and this problem was later solved by the development of portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) which allow free movement for the patient making it possible for oxygen patients to take their oxygen as and when required no matter wherever they wish to go. The commercially available portable medical oxygen concentrators weigh as less as 2-3 kg. Some of the commercially available medical oxygen concentrators include Airstep Freestyle, Delphi RS-00400, DeVilbiss Healthcare iGo, Inogen One G2 and Inogen One G3, Inova Labs LifeChoice Activox, Invacare XPO2, Respironics EverGo, and SeQual Eclipse. These devices are also used by mountaineers and people travelling to places where oxygen is inadequate amount. Inova labs recently introduced its new portable medical oxygen concentrator - LifeChoice Activox 4L which uses technology to track user’s inhalation rate and breathing pattern to deliver oxygen.

Some of the major factors expected to drive the market for medical oxygen concentrators include its ability to provide oxygen under all circumstances and worldwide aging population coupled with COPD and other respiratory diseases. Advantages associated with these devices such as they weigh less, easy to use and more affordable are also predicted to drive the market further.
