Airway Management Devices Market Trends:

Increasing Focus on Noninvasive Devices

Noninvasive airway solutions, such as ventilation masks, are becoming more popular in critical care because they maintain airways without intrusive procedures, lowering discomfort and recovery time. In August 2024, a study conducted by researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health showed that the noninvasive ventilation method, which supports breathing by using a tight-fitting respiratory mask connected to BPAP, or bilevel positive airway pressure, reduced the risks associated with the intubation procedure. This is increasing the airway management devices market growth.

Elevating Usage of Single-Use Devices

The emphasis on infection prevention has resulted in increased demand for single-use airway management devices. These disposable devices minimize the possibility of cross-contamination and hospital-acquired illnesses. In June 2024, Applied Medical Technology, Inc. (AMT), a global leader in manufacturing medical devices, announced the debut of IntelAir, a nasal airway support system. The single-use device is intended to ensure airway securement, avoid cannula migration, and maintain a clear airway. This represents the airway management devices market outlook.

Widespread Popularity of Pediatric Airway Management

Pediatric airway devices are in frequent use due to children's particular anatomical requirements. Companies are creating smaller and more flexible technologies for safe use in neonatal and pediatric care, with a focus on precision and safety. In September 2024, Baxter International Inc., a leading global medtech company, unveiled its next-generation airway clearance system, the vest advanced pulmonary experience (APX) system, at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference. This system supports daily therapy for adults and children with certain chronic lung conditions and retained secretions.
