Increased awareness about hygiene and sanitization measures for blood collection devices such as heel lancets is growing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since newborns are likely to be sensitive toward the infection, healthcare professionals are taking extra care to efficiently dispose heel incision devices. Moreover, proper handling of heel incision devices has also been recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, factory shutdowns are likely to affect the supply of these devices. Hence, companies in the heel incision devices market are strengthening their distributions channels in countries where the pandemic has subsided.
Proper disinfection and sanitization of heel incision devices has become crucial for healthcare facilities. Since hospitals in the U.S., India, Russia, and Brazil are already compromised with increasing COVID-19 cases, doctors are maintaining sanitization measures for the handling of blood collection devices.
These factors are expected to drive the heel incision devices market during the forecast period.
The ease of activation and the unique positioning design are highly preferred in heel incision devices. Hence, MediPurpose Inc.— a boutique medical products company has announced the launch of their babyLance heel incision device, which reduces trigger activation force in infants. Manufacturers in the heel incision devices market are increasing efforts to develop safe, effective, and easy solutions for blood collection. They are increasing their portfolio in preemie and newborn products to capitalize on value-grab opportunities. As such, there is a growing demand for devices that minimize the risk of bruising.
Unique positioning designs in heel incision devices facilitate accurate and stable placement against targeted section of the infant’s feet. In order to gain recognition, manufacturers in the heel incision devices market are abiding by the CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) regulatory and quality standards.
The heel incision devices market is expected to mature from a revenue of ~US$ 174 Mn in 2019 to over US$ 231 Mn by the end of 2030. This can be attributed to increased product launches have intensified competition in the market landscape. For instance, the U.S. multinational healthcare services company Cardinal Health has announced the launch of the gentleheel® device, which is made with the automated lancing mechanism. In order to cause less trauma to infants, mothers and healthcare practitioners are fueling the demand for heel incision devices that deliver smooth incision at the heel.
Hardened stainless steel blade in devices cause less trauma to infants. Manufacturers in the heel incision devices market are increasing efforts to acquire trademarks for their products from the Global Resources International to boost their credibility credentials. New ergonomic designs and multiple visual indicators help improve device handling.
Companies in the heel incision devices market are increasing the availability of single-use safety heel sticks. For instance, the Novaplus MediHeel incision device by Medicore is designed for infants and neonatal patients to meet single-use applications. Manufacturers are strengthening their distribution chains via e-Commerce. For instance, the Lancet Tenderfoot Infant device is being made available online in order to increase product uptake. Next-gen incision devices are emerging as an alternative to puncture in the heel of infants. The growing demand for high-quality blood sample has triggered the expansion of the heel incision devices market.
Improved mechanisms in devices are delivering greater incision depth control above the nerve fibers, resulting in less pain in infants. Manufacturers are increasing efforts to enhance user comfort by introducing ergonomic designs in devices. They are offering comfortable grip for permanent retraction of the blade, catering to user safety.
Established players in the heel incision devices market are gaining a competitive edge over emerging market players, since babies are inherently fragile and many infants have complex medical conditions. Since emerging players and startups lack the right amount of capital expenditure, leading market players are outpacing smaller players. Hence, emerging players must invest in R&D activities and collaborate with think tanks from universities and international healthcare organizations to identify drawbacks in existing heel incision devices. Companies in the heel incision devices market should research about alternate methods that are replacing lancets since the market is projected to register a sluggish CAGR of ~3% during the forecast period.
Startups in the market for heel incision devices should innovate in lancets that are designed for specialized and delicate care. They should adopt standardized length and depth measures to carefully control incision in babies.
Manufacturers in the heel incision devices market are increasing their production capacities for lancets that eliminate the need for heel warming. The elimination of heel warming is being associated with time and cost efficiency in hospitals, since the nursing time is reduced and the hospital financial expenditure is also lowered. This has led to increased productivity levels in healthcare facilities, as additional minutes spent on heel warming results in adding up of substantial cost during the blood collection procedure. Thus, innovative heel incision devices are lowering the expenditure to purchase heel warmers.
Companies in the heel incision devices market are innovating in lancets that produce a steady consistent arc motion, which promotes fast healing and less bruising. There is a growing demand for devices that deliver gentle skin incision. Latest heel incision devices are eliminating the need for repeat sticks in order to collect a large enough blood sample.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
Analysts of the Transparency Market Research (TMR) opine that the heel incision devices market is likely to be affected due to COVID-19 restrictions in countries with rising number of coronavirus cases. As such, manufacturers are increasing their production capabilities to develop devices that offer custom fit to any baby’s heel. However, emerging players are facing the heat with stiff competition from leading healthcare giants. Hence, companies should increase R&D to team up with best minds from universities and international healthcare organizations to address the needs of infants with complex medical conditions. Manufacturers should develop devices that eliminate the need for heel warmers.
