Disposable Laparoscopic Instruments: Introduction
- Laparoscopy, from Ancient Greek (lapara) 'flank, side', and (skopeo) 'to see', is an operation performed in the abdomen or pelvis using small cuts with the aid of a camera. The laparoscope aids diagnosis or therapeutic interventions with a few minor incisions in the abdomen. Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery, is a modern surgical technique. Laparoscopic surgery offers a number of benefits to patients such as reduced pain due to smaller incisions, reduced hemorrhaging, and shorter recovery time. The primary component in a laparoscope is a long fiber optic cable system that allows observing of the affected area by snaking the cable from a more distant, but more easily accessible location. Disposable laparoscopic instrument is preferred for surgeries related to the pancreas, liver, colon, and bile duct. Disposable laparoscopic instruments reduce the risk of infection during surgery, and find applications in various surgeries such as general surgery, bariatric surgery, colorectal surgery, urologic surgery, gynecologic surgeries, and others. New breakthroughs in computer technology and medical technologies, on the other hand, are improving surgical vision, accuracy, and control. In the near future, these are anticipated to boost demand for disposable laparoscopic instrument during surgical procedures.
Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Disposable Laparoscopic Instruments Market
- Rapid Development in Technology
- Rapid technological advancements, increase in investment in laparoscopic instrument research by health care companies, rise in patient preference for minimally invasive surgery, and undesirable consequences connected with the use of traditional diagnostic procedures drive the global disposable laparoscopic instrument market. Usage of veress needle, trocar, cannula, jaw graspers, and laparoscopic scissors avoid obstacles and for lateral grasping when the instrument is placed outside of the visual field.
- Laparoscopic surgery instruments are currently used to perform around 15 million of laparoscopic surgeries across the world. The global disposable laparoscopic market is likely to be driven by increase in the number of minimal invasive surgeries such as colectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia, laparoscopic hysterectomy, and laparoscopic bariatric surgeries.
- However, high device & maintenance costs and lack of skilled laparoscopic surgeons are expected to restrain the global disposable laparoscopic instruments market during the forecast period
Disposable Laparoscopic Instruments Market: Segmentation
- In terms of product type, the global disposable laparoscopic instruments market can be classified into access devices, accessories, closure devices, energy devices, fiber laparoscopes, hand instruments, insufflators, laparoscopes, medical laparoscopic robots, and video laparoscopes
- Based on application, the global disposable laparoscopic instruments market can be categorized into bariatric surgery, colorectal surgery, general surgery, gynecological surgery, pediatric surgery, urological surgery, and others

North America Disposable Laparoscopic Instruments Market to Grow at Rapid Pace
- In terms of region, the global disposable laparoscopic instruments market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
- North America dominated the global disposable laparoscopic instruments market in 2020 due to rise in patient preference for minimally invasive surgery, increase in the geriatric population, and high per capita health care expenditure by governments. Early-phase diagnosis and surgery for diseases propels the medical biotechnology and pharmaceutical market, which in turn is expected to augment the disposable laparoscopic instruments market in North America. Europe was the second largest market for disposable laparoscopic instruments in 2020 due to increase in the number of minimal invasive surgeries, favorable government policies on health care infrastructure, and rise in awareness programs about hospital surgeries.
- Increase in the geriatric population, rise in frequency of accidents requiring surgery, changing lifestyles of people, surge in awareness about laparoscopic surgery, and high per capita spending drive the disposable laparoscopic instruments market in Asia Pacific. Moreover, economic growth in countries such as India and China in Asia Pacific and Brazil in Latin America has aided the development of health care infrastructure in these regions. This presents significant opportunities in the disposable laparoscopic instruments market in these regions during the forecast period.
