Medical device cleaning refers to the process of removing soils and foreign materials from the surface of an article. It is usually performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization processes as materials remaining on the surface of instruments can interfere with their effectiveness during examination or operation. Some of the commonly utilized cleaners include ultrasonic, washer-decontaminators, and washer-disinfectors and sterilizers. At present, the demand for these cleaners is rising across the globe for veterinary applications and to prevent the indirect transmission of diseases.
With the surging cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the use of stethoscopes, ventilators, nebulizers, endoscopes, imaging machines, infusion equipment, pulse oximeters, and other medical devices is increasing around the world. This represents one of the vital factors positively influencing the need for medical device cleaning solutions for reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Apart from this, the increasing rates of surgeries due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, escalating number of accidents, and the growing geriatric population are contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, targeted cleaning solutions are gaining traction across the globe as they help break down specific proteins, fats, and starches. Moreover, health agencies of several countries are undertaking different projects and campaigns to encourage the appropriate cleaning of medical devices. In confluence with this, major key players are engaging in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to develop advanced products and gain a competitive edge, which is anticipated to propel the market growth.
