The top three revenue contributing product type segments are discussed below:
Flexible non-video hysteroscopes
In 2015, flexible non-video hysteroscope occupied the largest share of around 68% in the global hysteroscopes market. A flexible non-video hysteroscope is used to view the uterus conditions such as polyps and fibroids formation and have comparatively less complications. It offers better visibility as it is flexible and attached with a tip that glances over different angles. These hysteroscopes consist of a plastic-coated endoscope sheath with optical components such as an objective lens objective lens, image guide, and light-transmitting optical glass fibers for picturing the uterine cavity. This segment stands apart from all other segments as the surgeons prefer the procedures that involve less pain to the individual, therefore allowing hysteroscopy to be performed without the need for anesthesia. Apart from this, the sterilization of flexible non-video hysteroscopes such as disinfection, cleaning, and storage are simpler than other hysteroscopes.
“The continuous improvements in technologies have led to the increased popularity of flexible non-video hysteroscopes. For instance, Stryker’s CST-4000S flexible fiber optic hysteroscope that features Vision Sciences EndoSheath technology (only flexible fiberoptic hysteroscope) is designed to avoid contact with the patient. Flexible non-video hysteroscopes dominated the market owing to the increased adoption of such systems in the market,” says Srinivas Sashidhar, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on orthopedics and general medical devices.
Rigid non-video hysteroscopes
Rigid non-video hysteroscopes are used extensively in vaginoscopic hysteroscopy. Most of the gynecologists use rigid optical hysteroscopes as it provides broad-angle views of the uterine cavity and offer superior optical qualities, allowing for a rapid examination of higher success rates. Rigid non-video hysteroscopes systems include a telescope that necessitates outer endoscope sheath for imparting the distension media. The endoscope sheath consists of optical components such as prisms and lenses that are aligned to form a system for visualization of the uterus condition. Their extensive range of diameters allow for complex and in-office operating-room procedures. The rigid non-video hysteroscopes have three parts; the eyepiece, the barrel, and the objective lens. Rigid hysteroscopes provide better images, quicker examination time, fewer failed procedures and are available at lower costs than other hysteroscopes. These factors have propelled the market growth of rigid hysteroscopes in the market. The growing adoption of rigid hysteroscopes in developing economies is due to low cost and established presence in the market.
Flexible video hysteroscopes
The flexible video hysteroscopes are comparatively less costly and take less time to assess the condition of the individual. They comprises an attached light source and video camera to visualize the cervical cavity. A flexible video hysteroscope consists of a chip-on-the-tip hysteroscope, and one unit refers to one flexible video hysteroscope. The reusable flexible video hysteroscopes were protected from cross-contamination by a single-use sterile sheath, where the sheath eliminates the need of high-level disinfection between procedures and the requirement for the back of instruments during the examination. Owing to advantages such as improved optics, and enhanced patient compliance, flexible video hysteroscopes are expected to grow at a fast rate during the forecast period. These hysteroscopes reduce the unnecessary procedure costs, for instance, Stryker’s IDEAL EYES HD CST-5000S flexible video hysteroscope eliminates the need to carry out high-level disinfection between procedures and avoids the need for backup instruments. . They not only reduce the needless costs involved in the procedure but also improve the turn-around time between patients, leading to higher profitability for hospitals. Moreover, the flexible video hysteroscopes provide a clear view of the targeted area which improves the diagnosis and treatment quality, and the two-way angulation supports visualization of the entire uterine cavity. Such advancements drive the adoption of flexible video hysteroscopes across the globe.
