Global Medical Pendants Market is Estimated to be Worth US$ 95.18 Million in 2017 and is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of 6.7% between 2018 and 2026

Medical Pendants

Medical pendants are systems that are designed to support heavy loads on instruments in areas such as operating rooms or intensive care units. These pendants have highly maneuverable arms with enough range to reposition the bed space to suit specific nursing practices without risk of entanglement or occlusion. Manufacturers are being compelled to design and develop Medical Pendants Market with advanced features in response to rising demand for flexible, more space-saving, and lightweight systems, as well as systems with multiple features. For example, Modal Medical System announced in October 2013 that over 1,000 MediBoom ceiling pendant systems with electromagnetic braking systems had been sold and installed in Europe in a very short period of time. As a result, the adoption of these devices by hospitals across the globe is expected to drive growth.

Increasing Demand for Medical Pendants Market in ICUs and operating rooms are expected to drive market growth. Medical pendants are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market during the forecast period, owing to their increasing demand in intensive care units and operating rooms to reduce the incidence of healthcare-associated infections. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the prevalence of HAIs in emerging economies is twice that of European countries, and the incidence of HAIs acquired in ICUs in emerging economies is three times that of the United States. Many manufacturers provide system configurations to support advanced healthcare facility needs by providing efficient access to equipment and allowing the surgeon and clinical staff greater flexibility in positioning the operating table.

Many hospitals are emphasizing the installation of innovative pendant systems in critical care and intensive treatment units. In 2016, St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, for example, installed a novel foot-of-bed pendant system developed and supplied by Brandon Medical to meet the requirements for an integrated patient information system. Medical pendant systems are widely used in developed economies such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan. Furthermore, the high incidence rates of injuries caused by falls from beds and upper bunks, which result in severe injuries, are expected to drive growth in the Medical Pendants Market in developed regions. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in every three senior citizens aged 65 and up suffers from dementia.
