GLOBAL URINARY ENDOSCOPE MARKET TRENDS
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major driver of single-use products. On account of the nature of the virus, there was a serious development in the field of bronchoscopy. This has spilled over to all types of endoscopes and has caused serious disruption to the market. Still, evidence is lacking in determining whether reusable or single-use endoscopes are more cost-effective. Undoubtedly, the single-use product is more resistant to infection, while proper reprocessing of the reusable scope yields cost-saving benefits as well. Ultimately, as single-use versions of urological endoscopes become available, greater volumes will move and drive trade.
