“Recently, portable heart-lung machines have been gaining much traction in the market. Portable heart-lung machines weigh less and occupy less space in operating rooms unlike conventional heart-lung machines, but are quite expensive. To reduce the financial burden on hospitals, vendors have developed portable heart-lung machines that can operate on rechargeable battery and can be transported to any part of the hospital. Such machines enable physicians to provide extracorporeal circulation to patients who are in the critical stage during any emergency period, either in an ambulatory setting or operating rooms,” says Barath Palada, Lead Analyst, Healthcare & Lifesciences, Technavio Research.
During 2015, the ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) segment accounted for almost 63% of the overall market space to become the key revenue generator in the global market. ASCs help patients save on the cost and duration of treatment. They include advanced operating equipment, surgeons, skilled staff, and operating and recovery rooms, but without the complex administrative procedures, which sometimes delay treatment and often burden most of the hospitals.
The key vendors in the market include LivaNova, MAQUET, Medtronic, and Terumo Medical. Owing to the presence of global players offering a wide variety of heart-lung machines in the market, the level of competition is highly intense. Providers in the developed markets are focusing on product innovations and extensions of their product line as it will help them to bolster their hold over the market.
