IV catheters, needles, and syringes form an essential part of the global medical devices market, which is mainly driven by the rising incidence of trauma cases (accidents and burn cases), growing prevalence of chronic diseases, and increasing cases of hospital-acquired infections. Chronic diseases such as diabetes require medical products such as needles and syringes for the administration of insulin and drawing blood samples for monitoring glucose levels. There are different sizes of needles that are used for different purposes in the medical sector. Conventional needles, the most commonly used needles in the market, are used for drawing fluid samples. Biopsy needles are used for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. IV catheters, needles, and syringes (excluding sterilizable syringes) are disposable in nature, which helps avoid infections. However, in recent years, there has been a rise in the incidence of hospital-acquired infections due to the negligence of medical professionals and staff. The use of contaminated needles results in severe infections and medical disorders such as Human Acquired Immunodeficiency (HIV) syndrome.
