Blood flow measurement devices are imperative for
Diagnosing various clinical vascular conditions such as arterial occlusion, peripheral vascular diseases including diabetic micro and macro vascular complications. These devices also find their applications in skin testing, cerebral blood flow measurement, burn assessment and others. As per American Diabetes Association an estimated 1 out of every 3 people with diabetes is above 50 years of age. A rising geriatric population worldwide coupled with an accentuated demand for minimally invasive procedures has triggered the growth of this market.
A SEGMENTED MARKET
Blood flow measurement devices market has been segmented into Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) ultrasonic Doppler, laser Doppler and electromagnetic.
High cost capital items that require specialised training
