United States Market Report for Intracranial Pressure Monitoring 2017 - MedCore Report - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "US Market Report for Intracranial Pressure Monitoring 2017 - MedCore" report to their offering.

The total market for ICP monitoring includes ICP transducers, drainage kits, advanced monitoring technologies and disposables as well as universal disposables that can be used by both basic and advanced technologies. Advanced ICP monitoring is driven by sales of disposables, namely access kits and ventricular catheters, as well as transducers. ICP sensors and transducers require the use of a monitor that is separate from a patient's multi-parameter bedside monitor; however, there is generally provision to integrate the two systems in order to enable surveillance through a single, often networked, monitoring platform.

Some advanced monitors also carry the option of monitoring cerebral tissue oxygen saturation and can be synced with the both the ICP and multi-parameter monitors to ensure that all relevant measurements are readily available. While sales of ICP monitors with tissue oxygen saturation have added value to the advanced monitoring market it still represents a minority of the ICP advanced monitoring segment revenue. Over the forecast perio this revenue mix is expected to shift in favor of the disposables as demand for ICP monitoring and CSF management increases and basic external monitoring procedures continue to dominate.

Other applications of ICP monitoring include the diagnosis of conditions such as benign intracranial hypertension, management of neurological cases, and guidance of follow-up therapy. Complications resulting from unchecked increases or decreases in ICP can include convulsions or even death.
