An urodynamic test is performed by physicians to evaluate the function of urinary system and its organs, which include urethra, bladder, kidney, and uterus. Urodynamic examination emphasize on the ability of bladders to hold and release urine.
Advanced equipment such as uroflowmetry equipment, ambulatory urodynamic systems, cystometry, electromyographs, and video urodynamic systems are used for accurate diagnosis. Urodynamic consumables include urodynamic pumps and transducer sets, and catheters.
3D Bladder Scanner
Portascan 3D is a 3D automatic bladder scanner developed by LABORIE. It consists of a live pre-scan functionality, which can help find bladder and thus calculate the bladder volume. This advanced product avoids excess catheterization and risk of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI).
Ultrasound bladder scanners find applications in long-term care environments, urology, acute care, and gynecology. It is a non-invasive substitute to urinary retention, intermittent catheterization used to assess (initial) bladder volume, and post-void residual volume (PVR).
Market Overview
According to Grand View Research, Inc., the global urodynamic equipment and consumables market is set to surpass USD 333.4 billion by 2025. Rising prevalence of urological diseases in elderly population, technological advancements, and rising awareness among the people can propel the market over the forecast period (2014 to 2025).
In 2016, uroflowmetry segment acquired the largest market share due to rising applications in the examination of urinary blockage, bladder dysfunction, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, hypertrophy, and neurogenic bladder. Electromyographs (EMGs) are expected to exhibit steady growth in near future. This system finds applications in diagnosis of sciatica, myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy, radiculopathies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, andcarpal tunnel syndrome.
In 2016, North America acquired major market share owing to rising occurrence of urinary diseases and high consumer awareness. Asia Pacific on the other hand, is predicted to grow rapidly by 2025. This growth is accredited to growing number of elderly population, increasing disposable income, and prevalence of urological disorders.
Some of the leading companies operating in the worldwide market are CooperSurgical Inc.; Verathon, Inc.; Boston Scientific Corporation; LABORIE; and Medica SpA.
