Blood Warmer Devices Market By Product Type (Intravenous Warming System, Surface Warming System, Blood Warming Accessories), End User (Hospitals, Blood Banks, Home Care Settings), Application (Preoperative Care, Home Care, Acute Care, New Born Care) & Region – Forecast 2017 – 2026

Introduction

Long exposure to cold temperature can result in hypothermia condition in which the body temperature drops. Hypothermia increases the risk during surgeries and it also takes a long time to heal. Hence, maintaining the proper temperature is important in order to accelerate the healing process after surgery. Therefore, hospitals are adopting blood warmer devices on a large scale to maintain the body temperature.

Blood warming devices are generally used to warm blood before transfusion of blood to a patient. These devices help in maintaining normal body temperature and also helps in avoiding hypothermia.

Manufacturers are focusing on developing portable blood warmer devices for both big and mid-sized hospitals and care units. To maintain market share and earn better profits, leading players are also increasingly entering into a partnership to develop innovative product and enter into new untapped regions. The increase in complications due to the complex surgeries is resulting in the growing demand for disposable blood warmer devices.

The disposable blood warming devices include heating pads, heat bands, and blankets. These devices also offer better results and are also cost-effective. The increasing trend of the point of care treatment and home care system is fueling the demand for blood warming devices that are disposable.
