Endoscopy helps surgeons and clinicians to diagnose and perform surgery for various chronic and acute diseases in a proper and standard manner. During the procedure, both internal and external surfaces of endoscopes are exposed to body fluids. The need for an Endoscopy fluid management system arose due to the presence of body fluids that hinder the proper working of these endoscopes.
The endoscopic fluid management system is used to improve visibility during endoscopic surgeries by providing precise fluid pressure to internal cavities. Endoscopy is done extensively for proper diagnosis and detection of various disorders related to the body organs, which are not accessible by clinicians very easily. This system is used for various types of endoscopic surgeries, including hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and others.

Irrigation pumps are the most common type of Endoscopy fluid management systems. A complete fluid management system consists of a suction irrigation pump, reusable and disposables tubing sets, reusable and disposable jars, calibration kit, and stand.
Endoscopic fluid management is needed in all the procedures of endoscopy, including hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, arthroscopy, and urology.
Endoscopy Fluid Management Systems: Advantages
Endoscopy Fluid Management Systems: Disadvantages
The Endoscopy fluid management systems market is estimated to increase with the rise in demand for endoscopy in fields like gastroenterology, urology, dentistry, gynecology, neurology, arthroscopy, laparoscopy, cardiology, bronchoscopy, and others. A total of 203, 970 patients underwent laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, and fluoroscopic surgery for three years, 2014–2016. The boost in Endoscopy acceptance among patients is expected to boost the Endoscopy fluid management system market.
Furthermore, an increase in the prevalence of gastrointestinal cancer globally, making it the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world and the seventh most prevalent one, is another factor swelling the Endoscopy fluid management system market growth.
Along with this, the globally growing geriatric population and technological advancements are other major factors responsible for the growth of the Endoscopy fluid management systems market.
However, the lack of skilled professionals, no proper training, availability of local manufacturers, and stringent approval process can dissuade the market growth in the coming years. There is also a dearth of skilled professionals to conduct minimally invasive procedures like endoscopy.
According to DelveInsight’s Endoscopy fluid management systems market analysis, which is segmented by application type, modality type, and end-user, the market is dominated by Endoscopy fluid management for Hysteroscopy (45%) followed by Laparoscopy and Arthroscopy. The majority of the available products are of the Bench Top model taking up 82% of the market share, followed by floor-standing models.
The MedTech companies operating in the Endoscopy Fluid Management Systems market include Arthrex Inc., B. Braun, Cantel Medical Systems, Comeg Medical Technologies, Conmed Corporation, Endomed Systems, Fujifilm Corporation, Gimmi GmbH, Hologic Inc., Johnson & Johnson, KARL STORZ SE & Co. K.G., Medtronic Inc., Olympus Medical Corporation, Richard Wolf Company, Serres, Smith & Nephew, Steris, Stryker, Thermedx, and Vimex Sp. z o.o.
Endoscopy Fluid Management Systems: Developmental Activities
The Endoscopic fluid management system is used to improve visibility during endoscopic surgeries by providing precise fluid pressure to internal cavities. To dilate the operating area and wash away debris and blood, many endoscopic surgical procedures involve the use of irrigating fluid.
Endoscopy is the most commonly performed gastrointestinal procedure worldwide. There are around 75 million Endoscopies performed annually in the United States and approximately 2 million procedures performed each year in the United Kingdom. About 500 endoscopy units are registered with the Joint Advisory Group on G.I. Endoscopy (JAG).
Another study based in Japan states that in 2017, 248,743 patients underwent endoscopic surgery in all surgical domains, such as abdominal, thoracic, mammary and thyroid gland, cardiovascular, obstetrics and gynecology, urologic, orthopedic, and plastic surgery.
This increasing number of Endoscopy surgery around the world drives the market for the need for endoscopic fluid management systems.
