Your Catalyst To a Lucrative Business
Products and regions are two parameters based on which the global Biopsy Devices Market is categorized.
According to products, the industry is divided into biopsy forceps, biopsy guidance system, needle-based
biopsy guns, biopsy needles, and others. “Others” refers to biopsy punches, curettes, and brushes. Guidance
systems held the highest share in 2013 owing to high prices of robotic guidance systems. Popularity of
accurate & minimally invasive devices and high incidence of cancer are two key factors that drive this
segment. It is influenced by technological advancements and the surging demand for user -friendly products.
Needle-based biopsy guns is a highly profitable segment because of surging demand for the same for
obtaining soft tissue samples from bone marrows, kidneys, prostate glands, lungs, and breasts. Needle -based
biopsy guns are further segmented into core needle, fine needle aspiration, and vacuum assist ed biopsy
devices. Biopsy forceps are of two types, namely hot and cold. The cold biopsy forceps segment can expand
considerably in the years to come because these help prevent the onset of infectious diseases. The market
for robotic guidance systems is projected to expand remarkably over the forecast period because of surging
disposable incomes and substantial investments in technology.
Geographically, the global Biopsy Devices Market is classified into Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and
Rest of the World. North America held maximum shares in 2013 in terms of revenue. The region may
continue dominating the overall industry throughout the forecast period because of rising prevalence of
cancer and greater awareness about biopsy devices. The Asia Pacific market may grow rapidly because of a
booming population and an expanding medical tourism industry. Other regional drivers are rising disposable
incomes, unmet medical needs, and gradual improvements in healthcare infrastructure. Key companies
operating in the worldwide industry are DTR Medical; Cardinal Health Inc.; Hologic Inc.; Devicor Medical
Products Inc,; and C.R. Bard Inc.
Researchers from the University of Adelaide have developed a novel medical device that could lead to safer
brain surgeries. It is a smart needle that helps spot blood vessels in the body. A miniature imaging probe
placed inside a brain biopsy needle enables surgeons to see those blood vessels that are prone to risks. These
needles on being inserted avoid causing fatal bleeds during the procedure.
