C-arms are non-invasive devices that provide fluoroscopic intraoperative imaging during difficult surgical and emergency procedures. They have image intensifiers and radiographic capabilities that help produce high-resolution x-ray images and allow surgeons to monitor operation progress in real time. They also help with the visualisation of kidney drainage, gastroenterology, neurostimulation, percutaneous valve replacements, and abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery.
Europe C-arms Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Europe C-arms Market Driving Factors
Increasing acceptance of minimally invasive procedures: As less intrusive procedures become more widely accepted, the market is expected to grow. Advancements in fresh technologies will create new prospects for the c-Arms market growth between now and 2027. Siemens Healthineers, for example, launched the cios alpha mobile c-arms in April. This new tool enhances the work flow during surgery by providing a system management technique.
Specialists in surgery, orthopaedics, traumatology, vascular, and cardiology rely on C-arms for intraoperative imaging. The devices deliver high-resolution x-ray images in real time, allowing clinicians to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. As a result, therapeutic outcomes are better, and the patient's recovery period is shorter. C-arms are currently used in a variety of medical sectors, and their application is expected to grow in the future. As a result, all of these factors, together with the rising frequency of chronic diseases and the growing elderly population, are moving the c-arms market ahead.
Europe C-arms Market Challenges
High research and development costs, limited infrastructure, high sports medical costs, and a lack of awareness in backward economies are projected to stymie market expansion. Furthermore, a lack of favourable reimbursement scenarios and technological penetration in developing economies, high customs duties placed on medical equipment, and a lack of sufficient infrastructure in low- and middle-income nations are expected to challenge the market in the forecast period.
Impact of COVID-19 on Europe C-arms Market
The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have an influence on the C-arm industry, as image-guided procedures, which are mostly elective, were postponed during the crisis. Hospitals shifted money to COVID-19 therapy support equipment, deferring expenditures in expensive capital equipment such as C-arms. However, to manage COVID-19 patients that require surgery, equipped operating rooms with mobile C-arm fluoroscopic x-ray equipment are required, according to European Association of Urology recommendations, maintaining market stability despite the pandemic's impact on healthcare systems.
