Single-use nonwoven surgical drapes and gowns

摘要

With the European population ageing, infections affecting one in ten hospital patients and new surgical methods and treatments, there is a growing market for single-use nonwoven surgical drapes and gowns. A new report from Engqvist Consulting presents the potential volumes for these products in six key European markets. The report includes case studies comparing the health care systems in the UK and Sweden. The report includes demographics, the impact of the ageing population, hospital-acquired infections as well as the number and types of the most important surgical procedures. Some of the most influential industry participants, suppliers of converted products, materials and machines are presented.
