Neonatal & Preterm Infants Enteral Feeding Devices Market Continues To Expand With Envizion Medical Receiving The U.S. FDA Approval For Its Envue Electromagnetic Feeding Tube Placement System

Neonatal & Preterm Infants Enteral Feeding Devices Market


 Preterm infants have many risks to their health. These include prematurity, which is defined as before the baby is born alive. Premature babies who fail to gain weight and are often underweight can be fed using an Enteral Feeding Device. The device gives milk immediately when the infant takes their first swallow and is often used to supplement breast milk. Enteral nutrition, also referred to as tube feeding has become significantly important over the years. This is typically due to the fact that the prevalence of preterm birth has increased across the globe. Preterm births involve many complications such as difficulty regulating body temperature, poor feeding, and slow weight gain. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), preterm births are the leading cause of deaths among children aged 5 years and below, accounting for around 1 million deaths in 2015. Besides, every year, around 15 million babies are born preterm. Such factors can stimulate growth of the neonatal & preterm infants enteral feeding devices market.

With continuous medical research and product development, the demand for enteral feeding devices has increased over the years. Key companies in the medical device industry are focused on developing more advanced and sophisticated feeding devices that can aid in improving the health of preterm infant babies. Thus, the launch of such technologically advanced products can augment growth of the neonatal & preterm infants enteral feeding devices market in the near future.

Recently, in April 2019, ENvizion Medical received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its ENvue Electromagnetic Feeding Tube Placement System

Preterm infants also have other risks. Many of these infants who fail to thrive despite medical care have been reported by several doctors to be suffering from a host of health problems including infections, respiratory infection, gastrointestinal problems, congenital anomalies, and defects in the central nervous system. These may lead to serious brain damage if untreated. As far as geographical impact is concerned, developed countries including the U.S. seem to be gaining significant traction in the neonatal & preterm infants enteral feeding devices market. This is typically due to the high prevalence of preterm births in the region. Similarly, the demand for these devices has increased in the recent past in India and China as well due to improving healthcare infrastructure in the region.

One of the major challenges in the adoption of these devices is their significantly high cost. Infant enteral feeding devices are expensive and thus, their demand is being hindered. Furthermore, there are several risk factors associated with enteral feeding including tube malpositioning, refeeding syndrome, and fluid imbalance, which could potentially impede growth of the neonatal & preterm infants enteral feeding devices market.

The Global Meningococcal Vaccines Market Continues To Grow Owing To the Demand from Healthcare Care Sectors across the World to Prevent the Spread of the Diseases Especially In Children

  Meningococcal vaccines prevent the contraction of meningococcal diseases, including meningitis caused by the bacteria called meningococcus aureus. An outbreak of meningococcal disease is usually followed by an onset of meningitis. Meningococcal meningitis can cause permanent damage to the brain or spinal cord in as little as 10 days, depending on the degree of infection and the natural immunity of the person. Since meningitis is usually associated with a fever and signs and symptoms of a serious illness, many parents prefer not to use the traditional treatments for their children such as meningitis or oral antibiotics. Instead, they often resort to various forms of therapeutic interventions that may even improve their chances of developing a positive outcome. Meningococcal vaccines are now available for meningococcal meningitis, as well as for men who have had other prior bouts of meningitis. Some vaccines used for these purposes are PPSV, Rallo, and Q fever type 1. These vaccines

       Sexual health is an important part of a person’s physical and mental health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), sexual health requires a respectful and positive approach to sexual relationships and sexuality, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, violence, and discrimination. Sexual health leads to a healthy sex life without any sexually transmitted diseases, and to take preventive measures to avoid sexually transmitted infections. The elderly population (geriatric population) often suffer from one or more sexual disorders, such as premature (early) ejaculation, erectile dysfunctions, dyspareunia, and hypoactive sexual desire disorder, among others. Thus, with the increasing geriatric population worldwide, the prevalence/incidence of sexual disorders is also increasing, driving the growth of the sexual health market . According to WHO, the world's population aged 60 years and older is expected to tota
