Rigid Endoscopes: Introduction

Rigid endoscopes, also known as straight endoscopes, are endoscopes that have a straight and rigid structure. These are medical instruments which are inserted in the body cavities, organs, or tissues for the visual examination for detection of any abnormality or disease. The distal end of the rigid endoscope is inserted into the body which contains optic lenses and fibres that illuminate the area and transmit images of the cavities/ organs to the proximal end, which is outside the body.

Rigid endoscopes should be sterilized before being used on another person to prevent the spread of infections. These endoscopes are thermally stable and can withstand high temperature sterilization procedures like autoclaving. One of the limitations of these endoscopes is that due to their rigid and straight structure, they are not suitable for procedures where flexibility is required for diagnosis.

Global Rigid Endoscopes Market Analysis

The market growth of rigid endoscopes is driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases like urological conditions, respiratory disorders, and intestinal ailments, among others. With the rise in these ailments, there is rise in the rigid endoscopes market for the diagnosis of these disorders. As these diagnostic procedures are minimally invasive and require only small incisions, the demand for these endoscopes is rising. Due to the shift from in patient to out-patient endoscopic procedures and increasing patient preferences for less invasive procedures, the rigid endoscope market demand has been on a rise.

With the advances in technology, other features like efficacy, accuracy, and sensitivity of the imaging technology have also increased, which helps in better diagnosis of the disease. Growing geriatric population is also responsible for the rising market as old population is more susceptible to age related diseases that require endoscopic procedures for detection.
