      <title>Medical Nonwoven Disposables - A Worldwide Market Review</title>
      <description>With increase in range of infectious diseases and regulations put into effect in healthcare and hospital facilities, nonwovens has emerged as a goldmine for roll manufacturers fuelled by consumer demand. Nonwoven disposables are rapidly making inroads into the medical sector, principally driven by growing consumer awareness against spread of infectious diseases such as AIDS and Hepatitis. The stringent standards being imposed by various regulatory agencies globally are also impacting the use of nonwovens positively. Though the medical market is increasingly moving towards non-invasive surgeries, overall impact on the nonwoven disposables market remains miniscule. Not surprisingly, nonwovens industry is witness to developments of new manufacturing, compound and finishing processes. Consumer demand higher protective apparel largely influences production of nonwoven materials. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;These and other market data and trends are presented in "Medical Nonwoven Disposables: A Worldwide Market Review" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses. </description>

      <title>Disposable Medical Gloves - A World Market Review</title>
      <description>Far from being just a rubber based hand protective solution, medical gloves have evolved from a simple clinical accessory in early 18th century, to present day technology ingrained hi-tech gloves designed to safeguard users against biological warfare, and bacterial contamination. Over the past few years, gloves market witnessed a rapid expansion, the reason being an increase in awareness of gloves as a protective barrier against infectious diseases such as AIDS and Hepatitis. Global demand for medical, household and other purpose gloves manufactured from natural rubber is experiencing healthy year on year growth driven largely by increasing world population and rising emphasis on health, occupational safety and hygiene among end-users such as individual consumers, food, medical, dental and service industries. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;These and other market data and trends are presented in "Disposable Medical Gloves: World Market Review" by BizAcumen, Inc.

      <title>Strategic Analysis of the European Surgical Gloves Markets</title>
      <description> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Market Experiences Product Shift&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Due to decreasing budgets in the European healthcare industry, almost all hospitals and medical organisations - including state-run facilities - are looking for ways to cut costs while attempting to retain quality standards. These budgets cuts have affected many healthcare markets including the one for surgical gloves, which is experiencing a drop in prices. At the same time, growing allergy issues are causing a shift in the market from the dominant natural latex powdered gloves to the more expensive natural latex powder-free gloves and synthetic alternatives. The surgical gloves market is, therefore, in a state of flux, with each of the new segments eating into another&amp;rsquo;s revenue.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This new research from Frost &amp; Sullivan examines the current state of the European surgical gloves market. It covers key market restraints, drivers, challenges, market metrics and forecasts. It also offers strategies to overcome the challenges and tracks major market and pricing trends.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Replacement Trend Likely to Drive Revenue&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The key driver of revenue in the European surgical gloves market is the replacement of cheaper natural latex powdered gloves with higher-priced latex powder-free gloves, notes the analyst of this research service. The conversion is not complete in Europe, and hence, it presents an area of market/revenue growth.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Synthetic alternatives manufactured with materials such as Neoprene and Polyisoprene have made an impact on the market and they hold the potential for revenue growth since they are more expensive than latex gloves. Conversely, the fact that they cost more may lead to more judicious usage.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Further Innovation Expected in the Market&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Despite the strong price pressures and near-total market saturation, the European surgical gloves market is expected to remain stable until at least 2010. Innovation and differentiation are anticipated to encourage product shift. Conversion due to innovation that, in turn, depends on a</description>

      <title>U.S. Disposable Gloves Markets</title>
      <description> &lt;br/&gt;Health Regulations, Growing Aging Population Drives Growth&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The U.S. disposable gloves market witnessed a surge in growth in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as new health regulations required all health workers to wear gloves when treating or examining patients. A growing population of aging Baby Boomers will continue to stimulate market growth, as they will need regular access to healthcare services. Currently, this market is in a state of flux and is characterized by product shifts and growth in individual segments.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This Frost &amp; Sullivan research examines and provides detailed forecasts for three broad segments of the market: surgical, examination, and non-medical gloves. It identifies market challenges and suggests strategies to address them. This analysis studies major market participants and discusses the factors impacting prices of disposable gloves.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Manufacturers Exploring Alternatives to Traditionally-used Powder Natural Rubber Latex Gloves&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The U.S. disposable gloves market is largely dominated by powder natural rubber latex (NRL) gloves, as they are reasonably priced and offer excellent protection, durability, and comfort. However, the presence of allergy-causing proteins in powder NRL has driven end-users to seek alternatives such as powder-free NRL and synthetic gloves. Latex allergy affects between 8 and 12 percent of all healthcare workers in the United States, presenting a challenge to all NRL glove manufacturers as they strive to lower the level of proteins in gloves, says the analyst.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Powder-free NRL gloves are gaining end-user acceptance as they have low chemical residuals and offer protection from powder-related allergies. Companies that focus on the production of polymer-coated latex gloves can expect to achieve success. Manufacturers are challenged to develop new technologies to meet customers' demand for high quality gloves at a low price, states the analyst.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Individual Segments Poised for Expansion&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Significant growth areas of this marke</description>

      <title>Japanese Disposable Medical Exam Glove Markets</title>
      <description> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Stratgeic Alliances with Importers and Distributors Key to Success &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Japan 's changing healthcare system, patients who will pay more for safer tech-&lt;br/&gt;nologies, combined with a large user base of an increasingly aging population,&lt;br/&gt;provide outstanding market opportunities for glove manufactures and distributors. While high quality, less-expensive imports from South East Asian countries have inundated the industry, domestic glove manufacturers are align-&lt;br/&gt;ing with strong, local distribution networks to remain competitive and&lt;br/&gt;maximize their market share. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This exclusive Frost &amp;Sullivan research is one of the first to to analyze the&lt;br/&gt;Japanese disposable medical exam glove markets. No other research provides&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;detailed market trends and analysis of the growing examination and surgical&lt;br/&gt;glove markets in Japan. It is an excellent resource for existing companies as&lt;br/&gt;well as those who are entering the market. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Successful Manufacturers Respond to Shifting End-User Preferences&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Market participants are now focusing on producing powder-free and synthetic&lt;br/&gt;gloves in response to changing end-user preferences. The increased awareness&lt;br/&gt;of latex allergies among end users is driving this change. Manufacturers that&lt;br/&gt;can provide high-quality, non-latex gloves will to the top of the industry.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;New polymers that are non-vinyl and non-nitrile are showing good growth in&lt;br/&gt;the market, states the author of this report. In terms of synthetics, neoprene, polyethylene, and polyurethane gloves are being marketed and are gaining market acceptance among end-users. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Building Brand Awareness Will Increase Penetration Rates&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Japanese consumers are highly conscious of brand names and internationally&lt;br/&gt;recognized products are gaining market share in an import-driven industry.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Manufacturers who are not as well established can significantly increase their&lt;br/&gt;penetration rate with aggressive publicity and consumer education campaigns.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;High brand awareness presents a hurdle for manufacturers that do not have&lt;br/&gt;strong, </description>

      <title>U.S. Surgical Glove Markets</title>
      <description>&lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;Latex Allergy Creates Higher Demand for Surgical Gloves With&lt;br/&gt;Lower Protein Content Implementation&lt;br/&gt;Challenge&lt;br/&gt;Identification&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Even though surgeons prefer using powdered latex gloves, the Food and Drug&lt;br/&gt;Administration (FDA) has received numerous requests from healthcare orga-nizations&lt;br/&gt;to limit their use because studies have shown that powdered gloves&lt;br/&gt;contribute to latex allergies. The challenge for manufacturers is to reduce the&lt;br/&gt;protein level to the point that powdered gloves are no different than powder-free&lt;br/&gt;gloves. Market participants that can provide low protein content gloves&lt;br/&gt;stand to increase their market share dramatically. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This Frost &amp; Sullivan report provides an in-depth look at the medical glove&lt;br/&gt;markets for acute and alternative care sites. It discusses the use of gloves for&lt;br/&gt;multipurpose medical applications and reviews manufacturing processes, tech-nical&lt;br/&gt;upgrades, channels of distribution, and pricing. This informative report&lt;br/&gt;may help your company focus its energies in the areas that could prove to be&lt;br/&gt;the most lucrative. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Manufacturers Need to Enhance Their Quality Systems to Meet New Regulations&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To remain successful in this market, manufacturers need to lower the protein&lt;br/&gt;levels in their gloves while at the same time increasing the quality of their&lt;br/&gt;products. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The FDA is proposing to change the device classification of surgical gloves&lt;br/&gt;from Class I to Class II which would regulate the protein and powder content&lt;br/&gt;in medical gloves. The change would require manufacturers to submit more&lt;br/&gt;documentation to the FDA for review, states the author of this report. The&lt;br/&gt;FDA believes that current controls of surgical gloves are not adequate to&lt;br/&gt;insure safety and effectiveness. This new regulation recommends protein and&lt;br/&gt;powder limits in gloves and requires new caution-statement labels pertaining&lt;br/&gt;to protein and powder content. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Alternatives Being Sought for Glove Lubrication&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Cornstarch is the most common dusting powder used for lu</description>

      <title>European Plastics in Medical Disposables Markets</title>
      <description>&lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;As the number of disposable medical products in use increases, the public concern about the environmental and biological risks of their disposal will also grow. The incineration of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-based products, for example, is thought to trigger a discharge of harmful dioxins. Consequently, resins that can be incinerated with negligible environmental impact should gain ground on PVC in the future. In the meantime, PVC manufacturers must continue to conduct research aimed at dispelling concerns about the alleged toxic effects of their products. This Frost &amp; Sullivan report includes coverage of the competitive environment, market drivers and restraints, revenue forecasts, and much more.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

      <title>The European Disposable Surgical Drapes and Gowns Markets</title>
      <description> &lt;br/&gt;Disposable vs. Reusable - A Vital Debate for Market Growth&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Dynamics between the disposable and reusable segments is a key factor affecting the growth in the disposable drapes and gowns market. The penetration of single-use surgical drapes and gowns varies significantly throughout Europe, and is much less than that in the United States where disposables account for over 80 per cent of the drapes/gowns utilised. Ingrained hospital practices support the continuing use of traditional textile reusable products in many European countries despite their inferiority to most single-use drapes and gowns available. Furthermore, there have been some innovations to create &amp;lsquo;high-tech&amp;rsquo; reusable products with more effective barrier properties. While these products may have some limitations, they are a significant source of competition for the manufacturers of disposable products.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This study explores the European market for disposable surgical drapes and gowns in terms of revenues by geographic regions and market segments. The research reviews the principal market drivers and restraints and includes a detailed discussion on the technology for manufacturing non-woven material providing the total costs for drapes and gowns.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;New European Standard and Infection Control Regulations to Affect Market&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Increasing awareness on the need for better infection control, particularly with respect to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and hepatitis B, has increased the preference for drapes and gowns providing improved bacterial barriers. Due to their patient protecting properties, drapes and gowns are now considered to be medical devices that have to comply with the European Union Medical Device Directive (MDD) of 1993, notes the analyst of the research. This has led to the current development of a European standard for drapes and gowns, which is expected to have a major impact on the market for reusable and disposable surgical apparel.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Disposable </description>
