Life Saving Devices, Surgery Equipments , Lab Equipments

A wide range of equipment, techniques, therapies are in reach to everyone today, older times it was possible ONLY for high society people.

Innovative technologies (application of science and technology) are improving the quality of health care delivered and patient outcomes through earlier diagnosis, less invasive treatment options and reductions in hospital stays and rehabilitation times.

Medical equipmentis designed to aid in the diagnosis, monitoring or treatment of medical conditions. These devices are usually designed with rigorous safety standards. There are several basic types of this equipment: Diagnostic equipment includes medical imaging machines, used to aid in diagnosis. Examples are ultrasound and MRI machines, PET and CT scanners, and x-ray machines. Therapeutic equipment includes infusion pumps, medical lasers and LASIK surgical machines. Life support equipment is used to maintain a patient’s bodily function. These include medical ventilators, anesthetic machines, heart-lung machines, Ortho, ECMO, and dialysis machines. Medical monitors allow medical staff to measure a patient’s medical state. Monitors may measure patient vital signs and other parameters including ECG, EEG, blood pressure, and dissolved gases in the blood. Medical Laboratory equipmentautomates or helps analyze blood, urine and genes. Diagnostic Medical Equipment may also be used at home for certain purposes, e.g. for the control of diabetes mellitus. Durable medical equipment is a term of art used to describe any medical equipment used in the home to aid in a better quality of living.

A surgical instrument is a specially designed tool or device for performing specific actions of carrying out desired effects during a surgery or operation, such as modifying biological tissue, or to provide access for viewing it. Over time, many different kinds of surgical instruments and tools have been invented. Some are designed for general use in surgery, while others are designed for a specific procedure or surgery. There are several classes of surgical instruments: Clamps and occludes for blood vessels and other organs, Retractors, used to spread open skin, ribs and other tissue, Mechanical cutters (scalpels, lancets, drill bits, rasps, trocars, Ligasure, etc.), Sealing devices as surgical staplers, Measurement devices, such as rulers and calipers, etc.

An implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing biological structure, support a damaged biological structure, or enhance an existing biological structure. Medical implants are man-made devices, in contrast to a transplant, which is a transplanted biomedical tissue. The surface of implants that contact the body might be made of a biomedical material such as titanium, silicone or apatite depending on what is the most functional. In some cases implants contain electronics e.g. artificial pacemaker and cochlear implants. Some implants are bioactive, such as subcutaneous drug delivery devices in the form of implantable pills or drug-eluting stents.

Living in 21st century, people still not getting proper medical aid on time, there is technology, instruments, well trained people, improved techniques, marvelous brains , what not all in reach and possible. Then WHY WHO is not bothering about people who are in need of medical help. This is not secret well known to everyone; let’s see who steps forward for them.

On The China Market Status Of Medical Monitors

Health care reform in our country 90 years from the last century, and has now lasted more than ten years, the medical equipment on the level of health facilities have been improved, but the overall level is low. To monitor, for example, commonly used in domestic hospitals integrated monitor still rely on imports. And imports more expensive, it is difficult in small hospitals. While recent years, some manufacturers began domestic integrated monitor research and development work, but still can not meet the middle and small hospitals, especially in the field, disaster site, and other special environment, and the family, community and sports custody needs.

Medical research, according to HC show, China’s medical monitor market has entered a rapid development stage. Statistics show ,2005-2007, 3 years, various types of hospital purchasing monitors the average annual growth rate of 10% or more. Among them, three hospitals monitor growth as the main markets, especially tertiary hospitals purchase the average annual growth rate monitor more than 50%.

Figure :2005-2007, monitor the procurement volume in China:

By the level of economic development throughout the range of influence is very obvious difference in medical standards. To Shanghai and Beijing as the representative of East China, North China’s medical equipment spending is much higher than other regions, only the monitor on annual purchases were accounted for 25.62% of total national purchases and 18.93%.

Currently, hospitals monitor the department focused on general wards, operating rooms, ICU, CCU and emergency room, but the department monitors the configuration and price quite different. On the one hand, the general wards of hospitals nationwide use the number of monitors almost reached the total number of hospital monitors 1 / 2, but the price is relatively low, average 90% of the price monitors none of more than 100,000 yuan. On the other hand, although the operating room, ICU and CCU monitors use less than the average number of ordinary ward for 1 / 3, but prices are exorbitant in price or more than 150,000 yuan of the monitor accounts for more than 80%.

The face of China Medical Devices Rapid growth of the market situation, competition between the various brands are also increasingly keen on. At present, many brands of monitor market, the major manufacturers including GE, Philips, Mindray and so on, which Mindray is the only company in the market share of imported brands with comparable domestic enterprises, but imported brands different target market. Mindray’s products are mainly concentrated in low-end market, the price is relatively low. The current monitor market in China still is popular in low-end products are the main type, therefore, in such market Mindray’s advantages are clear. On the other hand, to GE and Philips-based product configuration although the variety of imported products, complete specifications, comprehensive coverage of the high demand for low-end market, but higher prices in the low-end market is not a clear advantage. And domestic products in the high-end market is almost empty, so the competitiveness of imported brands focused on high-end monitor market.

As raising the level of national health care, various medical institutions and the local sound social security system, the hospital care in the clinical care awareness and choice of products showed considerable improvement in the monitor’s integrated, modularized, professional, intelligent, and information networking needs of the community have become increasingly prominent. As a result, many medical and health institutions will gradually upgrading of equipment, the technical requirements of the advanced equipment will continue to improve, monitor the market potential is huge. In addition, the rapid development of private hospitals in recent years, large capital inflows to the new hospital, also contributed to medical equipment and infrastructure surge in demand for the medical device provides a broad market space.
