Patient positioning systems (PPS) play a significant role in healthcare settings as a prerequisite for assistance in surgical procedures and recovery. Optimal patient positioning ensures the finest access to the surgical sites and prevents any possibility of nerve damage or pressure ulcers; thus, resulting in faster rehabilitation, recovery, and better outcomes. Patient positioners prove significant in robotic surgery where patient stability is of utmost importance. The rising number of robotic surgical procedures has spurred the demand for patient positioning systems. According to the Minimally Invasive Surgery Symposium (MISS), more than 140,000 robotic-assisted surgeries were performed in 2015 in the U.S. alone. The number is projected to increase by 25% in the next 5 years with approximately 1 in 3 gynecology, urology, orthopedic and general surgeries expected to be performed by robotic systems. A similar trend is anticipated to be followed in countries such as China, India, and other emerging economies by 2020. Moreover, PPS plays a key role in radiation therapy for cancer treatment, wherein the stability of the patient needs to be precisely controlled to accurately target the tumor for ensuring maximum therapeutic outcome, without harming healthy tissues. PPS is cost-effective, customizable, and compatible with medical robots and decreases the time required for positioning patients and undergoing treatments.
In terms of product type, the market is segmented into patient positioning tables and accessories. Patient positioning tables include surgical tables, examination tables, and radiolucent tables. Surgical tables held the largest share due to the rising number of surgical procedures globally. According to the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, an estimated 312 million surgeries were performed worldwide in 2015, which is set to further increase in the coming years. Technological advancements and the introduction of innovative surgical tables would drive the patient positioning systems market during the forecast period. In terms of application, the surgeries segment dominated the market, while cancer therapy is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate due to growing cases of cancer globally. The hospitals segment held the largest share in terms of end-users in the global patient positioning systems market. A large number of surgeries performed in hospitals coupled with growing investments in indoor hospital infrastructure is driving the market.
North America, held the lion’s share in the global patient positioning systems market.
