Hemostasis Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019

Hemostasis is the procedure of interaction between blood vessels, platelets and coagulation protein to stop bleeding. Sometimes, bleeding disorder occurs due to vascular and coagulation abnormalities. These abnormalities could be inherited or acquired. Acquired disorders are the most common by far, majorly thrombocytopenia and other abnormalities include trauma, anticoagulant rodenticide, vitamin K deficiency, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), Von Willebrand disease (vWD), deficiency of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, dysfibrinogenemia, Monoclonal Gammopathy and congenital platelet function defect. The hemostasis market is segmented into three major categories based on the types of products, as topical hemostats, infusible hemostats and advanced hemostats and sealants. Topical hemostats are further fragmented into three main segments which include: Collagen Oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) Gelatin Topical hemostats are mostly used in surgery settings for hemostatis. Collagen among these is majorly used as it acts immediately and starts blood clotting by natural pathway. Topical agents are preferred over other agents due to their ease of use, efficiency, biodegradable nature and cost effectiveness. The other major method to treat hemostasis disorder is by using infusible hemostats. The major products which consist of infusible hemostats include: Platelet concentrates from donor blood FVIII derived from blood Fresh frozen plasma Prothrombin complex This method of treatment is used very rarely to treat hemostasis disorder and is used only under some specific conditions. For instance, fresh frozen plasma and prothrombin complex is majorly used to treat severe hemorrhages. Advanced hemostats and sealants market consists of products which have came into existence in recent years and is considered as the best treatment option. Some of the products of...
