Technological Advancements Bolster Middle East & Africa Tympanostomy Products Market
Infections in the middle ear are generally treated by inserting tympanostomy tubes into the eardrum to provide a route for the drainage of fluid. These small hollow tubes are generally made from plastics and metals; thus, their surfaces act as a substratum for bacterial growth as well as biofilm formation; moreover, bacterial growth on local tissues may lead to the blockage of the tube’s lumen. The insertion of tubes into the eardrum is associated with the possibility that the antibiotic ear drops prescribed for infection may not reach their site of action. As a result, companies are focusing on developing technologically advanced tympanostomy tubes to ensure better safety, efficacy, and comfort for patients when the tube is inserted.
Tympanostomy tubes should be made from biocompatible materials, such as silicon and titanium, which are less likely to cause infection or irritation when inserted. To avoid tube-related infections, manufacturers are focusing on antibiotic-eluting tubes, which would address the root cause of infections. Companies are also focusing on the development of self-expanding tubes to eliminate the need for a surgical procedure and anesthesia, making the procedure easier and quicker for healthcare providers as well as patients. Thus, technological advancements are likely to bring significant growth trends in the tympanostomy products market during the forecast period.
