WHAT ARE INFUSION PUMPS?
Infusion pumps are used for patients who require an infusion of fluids as part of their therapy. These fluids contain medication for disease management, pain control, provision of nutrients to compensate for a deficiency, to facilitate faster recovery, hydration, or for blood replenishment. Infusion pump devices fit into five main categories:
- Large volume pumps
- Syringe pumps
- Patient-controlled analgesia pumps
- Electronic ambulatory pumps
- Disposable ambulatory pumps
Large volume infusion pumps are one of the most common types of pumps and perform well in infusion therapies.
WHAT COMPANIES ARE LEADING THE GLOBAL INFUSION PUMP MARKET?
B. Braun
In 2020, B. Braun was the overall leading player in the global infusion pump market. In terms of specific segments, B. Braun led the syringe pump market. Additionally, the company was the second leader in the large volume pump and the disposable ambulatory pump segments.
Product Information:
Braun focuses heavily on improving and innovating upon their infusion pump product lines, contributing to their overall success. One specific innovation the company has been focusing on is reducing the size and space required by the pump. Previously, B.
