The NCS helps a caregiver and a patient to effectively communicate with each other and enhance patient care. In the US, individuals undergoing treatment in specialized healthcare facilities such as in SNFs, ALFs, and ACFs need constant attention and care. Hence, to provide 24/7 care to them, there is a need for a dedicated line of communication between patients and caregivers; NCS are used for this purpose.

In 2016, the total market for central venous catheters (CVCs) in Japan increased over the previous year. Growth in this market was slightly limited by sales declines in chronic CVC sales. Unit sales growth is expected to be relatively steady in Japan despite unit sale decline for chronic CVCs. The ASP of a CVC in Japan declined in each of the past few years. ASP declines have been slightly counterbalanced due to increases in acute CVC prices, specifically antimicrobial CVCs. Teleflex holds the majority of the acute CVC market and is a majority leader in the chronic CVC market as well.

The port needle market is a commodity market characterized by low unit sale growth offset by declines in ASP. Overall market growth is declining due to price declines despite a shift towards the increasing adoption of power-injectable port needles as a greater proportion of implantable port sales are power-injectable devices. Port needle sales are benefitting from continued growth in sales of implantable ports which remain the ideal long term vascular access device characterized by a low infection rate. Moreover, physicians have mastered the use of implantable ports; no additional training or education is required for new products, in contrast to other vascular access devices such as PICCs.

Ultrasound equipment are imaging devices that use echo-enhanced high-frequency ultrasound waves to aid in medical diagnosis. Ultrasound imaging modality is considered to be safer than other imaging modalities. It is widely used by radiologists, cardiologists, obstetricians, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals to examine and diagnose medical conditions such as tumors and gynecological problems.

A laparotomy sponge is a highly absorbent and tightly-woven cotton gauze with radiopaque tapes or a detectable X-ray string on the sides. Laparotomy sponges are of two types: sterile and non-sterile. The sponge is placed under the edge of an incision to protect soft tissues and exposed organs during surgery. It absorbs blood and exudates from the incised region at target site. There has been a surge in life-threatening conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, and neurological disorders across the world that has led to a soaring need for medication and often surgeries, both critical and normal.

Safe clinical practices during a patient's hospital stay can reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), which constitute a major threat to the patient's safety. The governments in developed and developing countries are giving due importance to patient safety during invasive and non-invasive surgical treatments. Disposable respiratory and anesthesia devices such as face masks, laryngeal mask airways (LMAs), breathing circuits, ETTs, and resuscitators are used so that the patient's breathing does not get disturbed and there is no cross-contamination. In developed countries, the adoption of respiratory disposable devices is growing rapidly.

Technological advancements have led to the introduction of certain innovative products in the market. Battery-operated conventional devices have been replaced with advanced wireless hearing aid devices. The rise in prevalent cases of hearing loss and the transition in demographics have contributed to the increased use of hearing aids.
