The global single-use gastroscopes market is projected to expand significantly over the next decade, reaching an estimated valuation of US$ 807.8 million by 2033, up from US$ 167.2 million in 2022. This rapid growth is driven by the rising preference for single-use gastroscopes, primarily to mitigate infection risks associated with reusable devices in endoscopic procedures.
FMI’s report underscores several key factors propelling this expansion, including advancements in medical technology, increasing awareness about healthcare-associated infections, and the demand for improved patient safety protocols. With healthcare providers prioritizing infection control and efficiency, single-use gastroscopes are gaining traction as a cost-effective and safer alternative, particularly in high-demand clinical settings.
Single-use gastroscopes are endoscopes that are designed to be used only once and then disposed of, rather than being cleaned and reprocessed for multiple uses. These devices are used to examine the inside of stomach and intestines, and can be used to diagnose a variety of gastrointestinal conditions, such as ulcers, tumors, and inflammation.
Single-use gastroscopes are typically used for diagnostic procedures such as upper GI endoscopies or colonoscopies. The devices are inserted into the patient’s gastrointestinal tract to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. The gastroscopes include a light source, a camera, and other tools for taking biopsies or removing polyps.
Single-use gastroscopes are available from a range of manufacturers and may vary in design and specifications. They are typically marketed as sterile and single-use only, and should not be reused. The devices should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations for medical waste.
