Notably, oval cups, a product segment within the market, currently hold a dominant position, accounting for nearly 46.0% of the total market share in 2023. The cold disposable biopsy forceps market will register high demand due to the rising prevalence of bronchitis and gastrointestinal disorders such as IBD and GERD among the geriatric population and the increasing awareness of endoscopic procedures. There is also a rise in the adoption of disposable biopsy forceps that are reliable for test sampling expect to gain popularity. Click Here to Access Your Visuals-Packed Report! At present, the minimally invasive technology, with the endoscope system at the core, has been extended to obstetrics, general surgery, otolaryngology, gynecology, thoracic surgery, urology, pediatrics, and other departments. Minimally-invasive endoscopic technology has become an indispensable technology for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases associated with breathing, digestion, urology, otolaryngology, and so on. With the rising demand for endoscopic minimally invasive technology and continuous improvement in endoscopic processing technology, endoscopic applications have become prominent in almost all departments. The growing demand for diagnosis and endoscopic treatment is expected to further boost the demand for cold disposable biopsy forceps. Numerous recent technological advances are becoming available to endoscopists. An abundance of new imaging modalities is expected to facilitate early detection of chronic disorders and other pathological entities. Most of these techniques remain investigational and are currently in clinical trials to determine patient benefits. Companies are expanding their product lines by manufacturing different types of products for a wide range of applications. For instance, Micro-Tech Endoscopy is mainly engaged in the R&D, manufacturing, and sales of minimally invasive medical devices, in line with its mission of supporting clinicians with technology and innovation. Key Takeaways from Cold Disposable Biopsy Forceps Market Study Oval cup forceps gained popularity and their sales are expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period. 8 mm diameter have sharpened cups whch ensure superior cutting performance and lead to fewer artefacts and less bleeding. The segment is therefore expected to account for a share of 24.9% in 2021. 2300 mm length forceps has precise jaws, no tearing and cause small wound. The segment accounted for the highest share of 37.9% in 2021. Upper GI Endoscopy dominated the application segment with the highest market share of 24.9% in 2021. Hospitals accounted for the largest share of around 42.0% in 2021 and will remain the end user in the market. Click Here to Request Methodology! Who is winning?

Articulinx, Inc is developing minimally invasive implants for the treatment of osteo-arthritis.
Varix Medical Corporation, located in Sunnyvale, Calif., is a medical device company focused on developing products for the minimally invasive treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, commonly referred to as "varicose veins." For patients with advanced stages of varicose veins, laser- and RF-based (radiofrequency) treatments have been developed, but each device has deficiencies making them less-than-optimal solutions. Varix Medical's platform technology will enable physicians to efficiently and effectively treat more types of diseased veins than is currently possible when using either laser or RF devices. Additional treatable vessels include tortuous sub-truncal vessels and other visible smaller varicose veins. The Varix platform employs a vapor-based endovenous ablation system that will consist of a disposable catheter, a catheter introducer or delivery system, and a reusable vapor generator. RCT and Coronis Medical Ventures LLC., formed Varix in August 2007 and acquired the technology under license from Tsunami MedTech LLC. Coronis and RCT have been the primary in investors in Varix.
