According to FMI’s analysis, skin perfusion pressure testing devices sales have grown at 5.3% CAGR between 2015 and 2019.

Skin perfusion pressure has become a potential tool for wound healing in patients with chronic limb ischemia. Compared to other non-invasive methods such as toe blood pressure and ankle-brachial index, skin perfusion pressure provides more accurate results, thus, its usage is gaining popularity among physicians.

This technique also remains a clinically relevant and objective tool of local perfusion in the setting of chronic limb ischemia, particularly among higher-risk patients with arterial calicifications and comorbidities that tend to microvascular disease. FMI expects global skin perfusion pressure testing devices market to grow at 4.5% CAGR through 2030.

How is Shift to Non-invasive Procedures Affecting Skin Perfusion Pressure Testing Devices Sales?

Non-invasive procedures have continued to grow in popularity as compared to surgeries. The measurement of skin perfusion pressure by a laser doppler is a non-invasive method that is widely used by professionals. Due to high reproducibility, accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity, skin perfusion pressure testing has become one of the soundest methods.

For instance, non-invasive VMS-VASC system (Moor) Instruments), including the laser Doppler monitor moorVMS-LDF, low profile fibre optic probe (VP-SPP), and pressure cuff controller moorVMS-PRES have been specifically designed to aid micro vascular assessments in a variety of clinical applications and physiological research.

What is the Commercial Potential for Laser Doppler Skin Perfusion Pressure Testing Devices?

Laser dopplers have proven to be effective devices for the measurement of skin perfusion pressure. Laser dopplers are among the regularly utilized gadgets for the appraisal of skin perfusion pressure, they are seen as the ideal instrument for the location of peripheral artery disease as well as diagnosis of wound healing potential in limb ischemia patients.

Furthermore, the accuracy in a laser doppler is much higher than any other traditional method. The high accuracy, simplicity of operability and non-invasiveness feature of the devices are likely to fuel the utilization of laser dopplers by the physicians, boosting the demand of the skin perfusion testing devices.

What is the Impact of FDA Regulatory Approvals on Global Sales?

Due to an increase in the need for assessment of wound healing in peripheral artery disease and limb ischemia, many manufacturers are seeking 510(k) Premarket Notification to FDA which demonstrates the device to be safe and effective as equivalent to a legally-marketed device

For example, Perimed Inc. seeks 510(k) Premarket Notification for PeriFlux System 5000, which is a laser doppler system consisting of main units and functional units

However, according to FDA Modernization Act, devices that fall under class I and II are exempted from premarket approval, thus, the time required for regulatory approval is reduced, which brings down the costs. The increasing FDA approvals attracts the end users, and this expected to boost the demand for skin perfusion pressure testing devices.

How is Lack of Skilled Professionals Restraining Growth?

Skin pressure perfusion is the most advanced method for the assessment of wound healing in limb ischemia and peripheral artery diseases. This method requires highly trained or skilled professionals to operate the device. Since it is fully-automated and provides quantitative evaluation of microcirculation, its operability requires skilled people, which as a result may limit the use of skin perfusion pressure testing devices.

Thus, reliability and reproducible measurement is highly dependent on a skilled technician or operator who interprets the results of skin perfusion pressure measurement. Lack of skilled professionals therefore can create significant challenges for the market.

Country-wise Insights

How Big is the Opportunity in the U.S.?

The healthcare system of the U.S. is well renowned for its advanced infrastructure and expenditure. The care regime of the care centers and hospitals are monitored by various regulatory rules and insurance policies. The massive hospital bills incurred other than the Medicare have been influencing the market in the country.

Government and regulatory bodies of the U.S. are adopting several cost-containment plans to reduce their healthcare burden. The shift from a volume to a value-based system is majorly driven by the various measures undertaken by providers, governments, biotechnology companies, and insurance payers. Some of the measures are outcome-based profits, pricing, risk sharing, competitive tendering, and price control.

A value-based healthcare system will not only provide improved outcomes through integrated care pathways, but also levy pricing pressure on medical device companies, and this is likely to impact investments on the R&D of advanced medical treatment technologies.

Furthermore, due to the higher prevalence of critical limb ischemia and peripheral arterial disease in U.S., several manufactures are conducting campaigns to raise general awareness among people related to these diseases. This is likely to support the overall market growth in the country. For example, Amputee Coalition of America (NGO) launched a campaign in April 2018 to raise limb loss awareness among people.

Why Innovation is Key to Success in German Medical Device Market?

The Federal Statistical Office has reported that healthcare spending in Germany rose by 4% in 2018 from 2017. In 2018, the country’s healthcare spending accounted for 11.7% of the GDP. Furthermore, health expenditure was expected to surge to 407.4 billion Euros by 2019, presenting a lucrative landscape for the expansion of the skin perfusion pressure testing devices.

Also presence of companies such as ELCAT GmbH is supporting the expansion in Germany. The company has been investing significantly in expansion efforts. Growth strategies adopted by these companies are expected to aid the expansion in Germany.

Since 2009, health insurance has been made mandatory for all citizens of the country.
