Pressure Relief Devices Market is at the forefront to combat the ballooning cases of pressure ulcers with the advent of advanced equipment

 

The pressure relief devices help to prevent blood clots from forming and, eventually, clogging of the arteries. When a blood clot forms, it prevents oxygen from reaching the heart, and this causes it to stop functioning properly. This is usually bad news since most strokes and cardiac arrests can be prevented if the heart is able to work properly.

There are four different pressure relief devices classifications. Learn about what each one consists of and its function. Rupture Disk Devices: this device is basically a flat disk, which is usually made of plastic and designed in such a way to break at a certain pressure in order for the release of pent-up gas to allow the escape of gas through the valve. These devices are often used to relieve pressure on the skull. Decongestive pressure relief devices are devices which are used to decrease the amount of pressure that is put on the heart. They are often used along with rupture disks in order to increase their effectiveness.

Cylinder banks are pressure relief devices that sit directly under the sternum bone and pelvic bone. These devices are created out of an aluminum alloy, and the inner ring, which sits inside the cylinder, has an opening in it. A small pump is used inside the cylinder to push a controlled stream of air into the opening. This type of valve is often used in cardiac arrest, asthma, and other conditions where relief is needed immediately.

Compressed gas discs are pressure relief devices that consist of either one or two cylinders. The inside of the cylinder is filled with either air or a liquid, such as argon, oxygen, or nitrogen. Depending on the size of the tank, the volume of gas can vary significantly, depending on the patient's needs. This is due to the volume of the tank, which determines how fast the gas is able to escape. For example, the small-sized compressed gas cylinders available for long-term use are usually around 40 cc.

The pressure relief devices market is projected to be driven by the growing elderly population combined with the frequent occurrence of pressure ulcer formation owing to its highly sensitive nature. In addition, technological advances such as dynamic air therapy mattress, a rise in the overweight populace, and heightened recognition of pressure ulcers through initiatives in different nations are the key drivers broadening the scope for the pressure relief devices market. Conversely, the high cost of equipment and a scarcity of trained employees can cause a hindrance in the growth of the pressure relief devices market.

Across the geographical horizons, the North American is posing positive prospects for the pressure relief devices market on the heels of mounting chronic diseases among senescent patients compounded with the rising healthcare expenditures. Another noteworthy geographic region is Asia Pacific which is offering tremendous scope for the pressure relief devices market in the line of growing geriatric population and disposable incomes.

In March 2021, Tivic Health Systems confirmed to have received clearance from the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for its ClearUp Sinus Pain Relief in the treatment of allergies. In August 2021, the investment company, Bansk Group, acquired Arcadia Consumer Healthcare from Avista Capital Partners to venture in the healthcare market.
