Increasing Number of Households with Companion Animals and High Expenditure on Animal Healthcare to Boost Demand for Veterinary Equipment and Disposables

 

Veterinary Equipment and Disposables

Veterinary equipment and disposables have come a long way since the day of their introduction. Veterinary instruments are no longer just simple and ordinary devices used for monitoring an animal's health. These instruments now perform crucial roles in surgeries and have also been developed to perform minor surgical operations. These instruments are now commonly used by veterinarians to give the animals a better quality of life and lessen the suffering they go through while they are waiting for surgery.

The demand for veterinary equipment and disposables is expected to increase in North America due to increasing number of households with companion animals and high expenditure on animal healthcare. According to 2017-2018 U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook of American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF), the number of rabbits per 1,000 households in the U.S increased from 1,408 in 2012 to 1, 534 in 2017-2018. 

Veterinary equipment and disposables such as ultrasound devices, microscopes, autoclaves, sterlizers, and veterinary monitors have revolutionized the way surgery is performed. Veterinary Microscopes are usually utilized to examine various organs and tissues in a very fine manner. Veterinary ultrasound devices help in examining various types of tissues in more detail. Veterinary imaging devices are also being used to provide more accurate and clearer images than before. Veterinary cutting instruments and devices used for suturing and stitching are also being improved on a regular basis.

Veterinary equipment and disposables such as forceps, cray machines, and ultrasound tools are also used extensively. Forceps and cray machines are commonly used in surgeries for securing or holding an animal during surgery. The forceps are designed in such a way that they can be manually controlled and also adjusted by a machine during the procedure. Similarly, ultrasound tools help in the detection and localization of problems inside the body.

The emergence of Covid-19 has led to acute shortage of staff and resources at various veterinary hospitals in emerging economies. Thus shortage of doctors and veterinary inspectors is expected to limit demand for Veterinary equipment and disposables in such regions.
