Glass Bead Sterilizer Market Growth Drivers
- Usage in Dental Instruments: The glass-bead sterilizer has been shown to be effective against such spore-forming bacteria in dental instruments. Glass Bead Sterilizers are a quick, easy and accurate alternative to traditional methods of sterilization. Other significant microbes for investigation include Mycobacteria (tuberculous and other atypical species), fungi (Aspergillum and Candida), and viruses (Herpesvirus, Adenovirus).
- Sterilizing Ophthalmic Instruments: The glass-bead sterilizer can be used for ophthalmic surgeries. There are several methods of sterilizing surgical instruments, most common of which is by autoclaving. Using moist heat, it is currently the gold standard for sterilization of ophthalmic instruments. Chemical disinfection by glutaraldehyde and other related chemicals is a common method used in ophthalmic surgical missions in rural areas in the country. However, there have been anecdotal reports of endophthalmitis cases following use of instruments sterilized by this method.
- Rising Cases of Bacterial Eye Infection: Bacterial conjunctivitis is common worldwide. The estimated incidence of bacterial conjunctivitis in the United States is 135 cases per 10,000 population annually, constituting approximately 1% of all primary care consultations. Such a factor will aid the usage and demand of glass bead sterilizers at present and in future years.
Glass Bead Sterilizer Market Future Trends
- Infection Control or reducing hospital acquired infections: Glass Bead Sterilizer is ideal for the sterilization of surgical instruments(forceps, scissors, needles, etc). When the chamber is filled with the included glass beads, high temperature(up to 300ºC) can be used to eliminate the presence of bacteria, spores and other microorganisms. Such instruments are ideal to be used in hospital settings
- Increasing usage in laboratory Settings: Glass Bead Sterilizer is very convenient to use alcohol/flame for sterilizing implements in laboratory. They are ideal for plant tissue culture laboratories and pharmaceutical research laboratories. It takes just 10 seconds to sterilize an instrument. Such instruments are ideal to be used in laboratory settings
- Rising Applications of Glass Bead Sterilizers: Glass Bead Sterilizers are used for surgical instruments for plant biotechnology, agriculture research institutions, plant tissue culture laboratories, pharmaceutical research laboratories, medical labs and veterinary institutions/professionals. The glass bead sterilizer are available in versatile range of models to suit every application.
Glass Bead Sterilizer Market Opportunities
- Rising cases of microbial contamination: Glass Bead Sterilizers are a quick, easy and accurate alternative to conventional methods of sterilization. Other significant microbes for investigation include Mycobacteria (tuberculous and other atypical species), fungi (Aspergillum and Candida), and viruses (Herpesvirus, Adenovirus). These units kill most major classes of fungi, bacteria, and viruses.
- Digital Temperature Display: The use of glass beads eliminates the need for an open flame and immediately destroys fungi, bacteria and viruses. The BT Lab Systems Glass Beads Sterilizer has multiple features, which includes a compact design and digital temperature display. Small instruments such as scalpels and forceps are placed into the glass beads and are sterilized within 10-60 seconds. The instruments will cool down to working temperatures with 30-60 seconds.
- Rising usage in animals: Survival rodent surgery requires the use of sterile instruments for each animal, which can be challenging when performing multiple surgeries on batches of animals. Glass bead sterilizers (GBS) are widely considered to facilitate this practice by sterilizing the tips of the instruments between animals.
