Lavage is the washing out of a body cavity with water or any medicated solution. Lavage kits are used in common gastric or rectal emergency situations where efficient lavage or flushing of the intestine or rectum has to be done. Cases of self-poisoning are being reported around the world. According to WHO, each year, pesticides lead to more than 250,000 deaths globally. Lavage kits flush out the stomach and prevent self-poisoning.
Lavage kits are also used when a person is suffering from alcohol or drug overdose. Lavage kits clear out the digestive tract before surgeries, if required. Lavage kits are considered for the assessment of hematemesis by confirming blood levels from gastrointestinal tracts. Lavage kits act as a cooling technique for patients dealing with hypothermic medical conditions. Lavage kits are also used for the quick & easy evacuation of the digestive tract during a trauma situation such as facial trauma.
Gastric conditions are increasing by the day. Medical gastric condition treatments include certain aspects, such as endoscopy, collection of stomach acids and pressure relieving in the intestines.
These procedures require lavage kits. With growth in the number of gastric and rectal health conditions across the globe, the market for lavage kits is expanding. Poisoning cases have increased and deliberate self-poisoning has also been reported in several countries. However, alternatives, such as the administration of activated charcoal, are expected to be adopted instead of lavage kits because of better efficacy and reduced risk of complications.
Lavage has to be performed 4-5 times for improved and better results. However, this is not required if activated charcoal is used. Sometimes, a combination of activated charcoal and lavage kits is used for better results and improved efficiency. In some cases, the performance of lavage is advised within 60 minutes of ingestion for efficient results, otherwise the procedure is likely to not be of any use.
The global lavage kits market has witnessed growth due to growth in the demand for quick and easy treatment methods. The global gastric lavage kits market is expected grow significantly during the forecast period owing to a continuous increase in gastrointestinal infections and diseases.
Advanced versions of gastric and rectal lavage kits have a system with a closed packing feature so that the wash out material is not exposed to the patient or the one performing the procedure. These lavage kits prevent the exposure of any infectious microorganisms or charcoal conditions to the patient’s skin to avoid further complications such as skin allergies. At present, lavage kits are being used only in cases that involve a high-dose ingestion of poison. Thus, trauma centres and emergency departments in hospitals extensively use lavage kits.
