On 26 August 2010, the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a notice that the usage of blood lancets to collect blood from more than one individual presents a danger of bloodborne pathogens spreading. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Programs (CMS) released a Point of Care and Infection Prevention Assessment and Evaluation Memorandum in nursing homes describing the usage of lancet tools for more than one individual as failure requirements for infection control.
Therefore, single-use lancets, which reduce the likelihood of spreading bloodborne pathogens arising from repeated usage by patients, will include language in the packaging that defines the system as "one use only" and instructs for proper disposal. Blood lancet systems intended for repeated usage will also have user-validated guidelines for the cleaning and disinfection of the reusable lancet product base after and patient uses it. Manufacturers of blood lancets with a reusable tool base and single-use lancet blades will have guidelines for the proper disposal of single-use lancet blades in the packaging, including directions for usage and published, illustrated and graphic content accompanying the blood lancet unit.
In 2018, push button safety lancet segment dominated in terms of revenues and is likely to maintain its dominance by the end of 2025. High acceptance rate of push buttons due to effective sample retraction with the press of a single button is likely to fuel their market. These are also quick, convenient, pain-free and allow for proper collection of blood samples. In addition, diabetic patients preferring these lancets, sue to ease of use is anticipated to drive the segment growth in coming years. Hence, a significant portion of diabetic population relies on protection lancet push-button tools for monitoring blood glucose, stimulating business development.
During the forecast period, the glucose test-monitoring segment will see lucrative development. Growing the incidence of diabetes worldwide and rising availability of painless, easy-to-handle, and reliable lancet tools for gathering blood samples would allow patients to assess changes in diabetes treatment, fueling segment development over the expected time span.
The lancets market in Europe is expected to see significant growth over the forecast years. The rising incidence of diabetes would drive the development of the lancet industry within the region in future. According to the WHO, in the European region about 60 million people suffer from diabetes. Furthermore, a favorable regulatory scenario and expanded usage of self-handling diabetes medical devices would fuel demand for lancet products, fueling development in the regional industry.
