Alpha-2 Antiplasmin Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 – 2019

Alpha-2 Antiplasmin Market
Alpha-2 antiplasmin or plasmin inhibitor, is a type of glycoprotein synthesized by the liver, kidneys and other tissues of the body. It is a serine protease inhibitor which belongs to the Serpin superfamily that acts as the primary inhibitor of the serine protease plasmin. Fibrinolysis occurs due to the conversion of plasminogen to serine protease plasmin by plasminogen activator. Deficiency of Alpha 2 antiplasmin causes a bleeding disorder owing to the increase fibrinolysis. Alpha-2 antiplasmin is the protein responsible for the degradation of fibrin clots and inhibition of fibrinolysis. Congenital deficiency of this glycoprotein leads to internal hemorrhage.
Alpha-2 antiplasmin is present in two distinct forms which are as follows:
  • Plasminogen binding
  • Non-plasminogen binding
Alpha 2 antiplasmin is used in various diagnostic technologies such as:
  • Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA)
  • Immunohistochemistry – Frozen (IHC-F)
  • Immunohistochemistry – Paraffin (IHC-P)
  • Flow Cytometry
End-users of alpha-2 antiplasmin protein are as follows:
  • Hospitals
  • Clinics
  • Diagnostic labs
  • Private Labs
The aforementioned end users use this protein in patients with alpha 2 antiplasmin or plasmin inhibitor deficiency especially in patients who have reported to have significant episodes of internal bleeding following a minor trauma and bleeding into the joints.Patients with alpha 2 antiplasmin deficiency often experiences severe medical complications such as:
  • Prolonged bleeding from wounds

Disposable Pain Pumps Market Share - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 – 2019

Medical_Devices copy
Pain pumps or intrathecal drug delivery is a method of delivering medication e.g. an opioid directly to the spinal cord. The system incorporates a small pump which is surgically placed under the abdominal skin that delivers medication through a catheter to the area around the spinal cord. Pain pumps are generally advised if all other traditional methods have failed to provide relief from long term symptoms. As the medication is delivered directly to the spinal cord, amount of dose required is much smaller than is needed with oral medication. The pumps are programmed to release small amount of medication over a period of time. These pumps can be programmed to deliver medication at a constant rate as well as in varying amount at different times of the day depending upon patient need and conditions. Once the pump reservoir gets over it can either be refilled with the help of a syringe or can be removed permanently.

Stent Grafts Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 - 2019

Medical_Devices copy
A stent graft is a tube shaped device composed of a rigid structure called a stent (mostly a metal) and a special fabric covering the stent. A stent is a metal mesh without any covering but a stent graft has a fabric covering and is mainly used in endovascular surgeries. A stent graft is used to repair abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a procedure called as endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). In EVAR, a stent graft is placed inside the aorta through which the blood flows uninterruptedly, instead of flowing through the aneurysm sack which is the weak point. Stent grafts can be categorized into two major segments, namely, bifurcated and aorta-uni-iliac (AUI) stent grafts. The stent grafts market can also be segmented into abdominal and thoracic aortic stent grafts.
The growth drivers for the stent grafts market are increasing acceptance of EVAR procedures worldwide, increasing efforts for creating awareness about aneurysms, rising demand for minimally invasive endovascular surgeries, aging population and rising incidences of diseases like obesity and diabetes. Increasing number of people affected by obesity and diabetes worldwide will drive the demand for endovascular surgeries. Technological advancements in EVAR and rising demand for minimally invasive procedures will drive the stent grafts market in future. However, increasing acceptance of balloon angioplasty may prove to be a restraint for this market.
The North American market, especially the U.S., dominates the stent grafts market with the largest market share followed by the European market.
