Minimally Invasive Technologies Drive the Demand in the Critical Care Solutions Market, Says Frost & Sullivan PR Newswire LONDON, Oct. 17, 2012 - Manufacturers will have to work around competition and tight hospital budgets to gain market share LONDON, Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- While hospitals across Europe are well equipped with critical care monitors, the growing elderly population along with increasing occurrences of fatal diseases is expected to bolster further demand for critical care solutions. However, the medical community is looking for cost-effective equipment that is patient-friendly and safe – primarily non-invasive and minimally invasive sensors for monitoring. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.patientmonitoring.frost.com), Emerging Trends in Critical Care Solutions in Europe, finds that the demand for advanced equipment versions that can be easily integrated with the existing equipment in intensive care is rising. The multiparameter monitors segment is growing steadily though minimally invasive technology remains an important feature for product selection. Currently, the biggest market in the critical care monitors market is Germany, followed by France and the United Kingdom. There are opportunities for niche manufacturers offering continuous monitoring devices for blood pressure, glucose monitoring, intracranial pressure, and more. These devices could be integrated with already existing multiparameter monitors or could be standalone entities.
