United States Ultrasound Devices Market Trends

Anesthesiology is referred to as a medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of the patients before, during, and after surgery. It includes anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiology includes the study and use of anesthesia to safely support a patient's vital functions through the perioperative period.

The major factors fueling the growth of the segment are innovative product launches, technological advancements, and the growing adoption of ultrasound devices.

For instance, in March 2021 General Electric launched its new wireless, hand-held ultrasound device, Vscan Air, as the company seeks to capture a leading position in the growing market in the United States and some other countries. The device provides the procedure guidance needed to deliver regional anesthesia and guidance for other procedures. Such developments are expected to boost the adoption of ultrasound devices for anesthesiology applications in the United States, thereby supporting the market growth.

Moreover, in January 2021, Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, Inc. announced an agreement with Medovate Ltd. to jointly promote Medovate's SAFIRA regional anesthesia injection solution with Konica Minolta's range of solutions for ultrasound-guided procedures in the United States. This initiative is the latest addition to Konica Minolta's UGPro Solution, which brings together education, procedures, and imaging equipment, such as the SONIMAGE HS2 Compact Ultrasound System, to further expand the use of regional anesthesia and enhance patient safety. Such developments are further expected to expand the usage of ultrasound devices for anesthesiology applications in the country.

Hence, the above developments about ultrasound is expected to drive the market growth in the coming years.
