Central venous catheter is a thin, flexible tube (catheter) that is placed into the large vein above the heart, usually through a vein in the neck, chest, or arm. It’s also called the central venous line or central line. Central venous catheters are used to administer chemotherapy drugs, intravenous (IV) fluids, antibiotics, blood and platelet transfusions, parenteral nutrition, etc.
The peripherally inserted catheter is the commonly used central venous catheter due to several advantages such as easy to insert and remove, easy to repair. Central venous catheters need special care. They may require regular cleaning or dressing employing sterile techniques. Central venous access is a commonly performed procedure with about 8% of hospitalized patients needing central venous access during the course of their hospital stay. More than five million central venous catheters are inserted in the U.S. each year.
Rising adoption and increasing demand for antimicrobial-coated catheters, rising number of chronic diseases such as cancer, end-stage renal disease and others, increasing geriatric population, and rising usage of tip location devices are anticipatead to drive the global Central Venous Catheter Market. Other factors such as favorable insurance and reimbursement policies, technological innovation, and early adoption of diagnostic procedures are likely to fuel the overall central venous catheter market. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, national expenditures for cancer treatment in the U.S. was nearly US$ 125 billion in 2010 and is estimated to reach US$ 156 billion by 2020. On the other hand, the risks associated with catheters and pricing pressure are projected to hinder the expansion of the global central venous catheter market.
