by The global Portable Ultrasound Bladder Scanner Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 142.2 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.3% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
A portable ultrasound bladder scanner is a medical device that uses ultrasound technology to measure bladder volume non-invasively. It provides real-time bladder volume measurements which help physicians and nurses determine whether the bladder is empty or full. The device transmits sound waves into the bladder through a probe placed over the lower abdomen. The sound waves bounce off the bladder walls and other structures, and the reflected sound signals generate images of the bladder content and volume. Portable bladder scanners are useful for bladder management in patients suffering from urinary incontinence, urinary retention, pre/post-surgery care, and other urological disorders. They enable safe, non-invasive assessment of bladder volume without the need for catheterization. The portability, ease of use, and accuracy of bladder scanners make them ideal for clinical as well as home healthcare settings.
Market Key Trends:
One of the key trends in the portable ultrasound bladder scanner market is the increasing incidence of urological disorders worldwide. According to the Urology Care Foundation, about 25 million Americans experience urinary incontinence, a common urological condition. Additionally, around 6 million Americans have problems with emptied their bladder completely on their own. The rising geriatric population is another factor fueling the incidence of urological disorders globally as age is one of the major risk factors. Advanced features of new portable bladder scanners such as automatic volume calculation, touchscreen displays, compact size, and Wi-Fi connectivity are also augmenting their adoption in healthcare facilities. Various technological advancements including faster scanning, better image quality, and integration of artificial intelligence further expand the potential applications and diagnostics of portable bladder scanners.
