A medical marker band can be used for a variety of operations such as blood pressure monitoring and medical imaging. They serve the same purposes as conventional rubber wristbands but compared to standard medical identification bracelets they are known not to irritate the skin, making them ideal for prolonged usage.
Surgeons and other medical professionals widely use medical marker bands to locate catheters and aid in their insertion. They can be constructed mostly of platinum and iridium metals, with small amounts of tantalum or gold. Polymer or platinum-iridium materials are typically used to create medical marker bands. The market acceptance rate for medical marker bands has been significantly favored by new developments in the procedures used to apply them.
Engineers and manufacturers of implantable medical devices are experimenting with novel designs to increase revenue for market participants in medical marker bands. One major trend supporting the opening of new doors in the medical marker bands industry is the introduction of specialized dies and tooling.Rising popularity of regenerative medicine treatments, an increase in cancer cases worldwide, and a rising need for precise, minimally invasive surgeries are some of the reasons driving the growth of the market for medical marker bands.
The need to track the catheter position in a complex endovascular procedure to avoid instrument and vessel collision is driving the demand for medical marker bands. High visibility under X-ray is anticipated to be a promising factor for the increased use of medical marker bands in critical medical procedures. The introduction of advanced materials for medical marker bands with the same functionality has led to a shift from traditional to cost-effective medical marker bands and is expected to boost market growth during the forecast period.
