Aug. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- The global operating room equipment market was valued at $770.6m in 2010, and is forecast to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.6% to reach $989.6m in 2017. The market is expected to be driven by an increase in the number of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), growth in medical tourism in emerging economies, decreasing material costs and technological innovations.

The market for operating room equipment in the US was valued at $288.8m in 2010 and is expected to
grow at a CAGR of 3.9% to reach $377.2m in 2017. The market for operating tables in the US is expected
to be driven by an increase in the demand for specialized operating tables for complex surgical procedures. For instance, specialized operating tables now allow surgeons to safely perform hip replacement procedures. These operating tables have boots to hold the patient’s legs in and can be twisted using a wheel attached to the base of each foot. This way, the patient can lie on their back, and
their leg can be gently twisted so that the surgeon has direct access to the relevant part of the hip.

With regard to operating room lights, the small expected growth in the US market can be attributed to the shift from halogen lights to LED lights. Use of halogen lights has been restricted to community and rural hospitals with private practitioners being an economical option.

The market for operating room equipment in the US is also expected to be driven by the emerging trend
for hybrid operating rooms.

In 2010, Getinge AB, STERIS Corporation, TRUMPF Medical Systems, Skytron and BERCHTOLD GmbH were the top five players in the global operating room equipment market, with a combined share of 64%. Getinge AB was the top player, with a market share of 15%. Its leading position can be attributed to technological innovations, a strong financial position and rapid expansion in the emerging markets. STERIS Corporation is at the second position with a market share of 14%, followed by TRUMPF Medical
Systems and Skytron with market shares of 12% each

Numerous innovations in operating room tables have been established in recent years. For instance,
BERCHTOLD recently launched a multifunction spine system attachment for surgical tables, which provides extra versatility by offering prone, lateral and supine positioning. It also provides improved eye and airway visibility and unrestricted C-arm access. STERIS has launched a range of three improved general operating tables that slide, rotate and transport patients with a single caregiver throughout the peri-operative area. TRUMPF has released a modular-design operating table with up to three motorized
joint pairs, which make it possible to use remote controls to position the patient quickly, safely and precisely. These are some examples of recent innovations that are continuing to challenge the operating room market and are driving demand among hospitals to upgrade their existing tables.
