The key factors that are driving the growth of the market are the rising number of surgeries and chronic diseases, and technological developments in blood collection techniques and tubes. However, risks associated with blood transfusion hamper the market growth.
Laboratory personnel finds blood collection from difficult venous access (DVA) patients challenging. In such cases, traditionally used products are often incapable of collecting adequate blood samples; this may lead to repeated attempts to collect blood. Multiple attempts may add to the risk of anemia and blood-borne pathogens among patients and nurses. To avoid this scenario, medical device manufacturers have launched innovative hematology-tube designs that support capillary-blood collection while reducing the risks of collecting blood in DVA patients. Furthermore, a vein illumination or vein visualization technique (vein finder) is a recent addition to safe blood collection procedures. It is used to support healthcare professionals in finding the right vein for venipuncture. The device illuminates the veins below the skin using ultrasound or infrared technology, thus providing easy vein access and decreasing the need for repeated venipuncture. In March 2020, Greiner AG (Greiner Bio-One) developed a new cap for MiniCollect capillary blood collection tubes. The developments in the products include a greater number of ridges, deeper surface to provide upgraded grip, and overlapped cap rim at the top of the tube that provides a better grip during the use of the product.
The COVID-19 outbreak has stringently affected medical services and medical tourism in South and Central America.
