Anal Irrigation Systems Market Analysis

Factors such as the fast-growing nature of therapy, convenience in executing bowel clearing, and cost-effectiveness are the key drivers of the global anal irrigation systems market. Furthermore, the growing target group for bowel management, such as the geriatric population, and awareness regarding the benefits of anal irrigation systems through government and NGO campaigns are other factors are also expected to drive market growth. However, the risk of intestinal perforation, a fatal complication associated with anal irrigation that requires immediate hospitalization and surgery, is one of the limitations that could hamper the overall growth of the market. In addition, the research and innovations leading to new product launches create new opportunities for the growth of the anal irrigation systems market.  

Anal Irrigation Systems Market Overview

Poor eating habits have led to an increased incidence of digestive disorders worldwide. Anal irrigation systems are beneficial for patients with intestinal problems. These systems mostly comprise a control unit with a rectal catheter, pump, and water bag that is handy and easy to use. These systems are simple, safe, and cost-effective in treating fecal incontinence. Anal irrigation is for people with chronic constipation and neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Rising incidence of colorectal cancer, increasing prevalence of fecal incontinence among children, and increasing healthcare expenditure are expected to drive the growth of the anal lavage systems market.

Anal Irrigation Systems Market: Strategic Insights

Anal Irrigation Systems Market Drivers and Opportunities

Developments in Minimally Invasive Procedures to Favor Market

Anal irrigation is considered a minimally invasive technique that has proven to be clinically effective for patients suffering from neurological bowel syndrome; it is a safe, well-tolerated, and effective procedure. Various companies have developed anal irrigation systems with updated technologies. For example, Bullen Healthcare Ltd, B Braun Melsungen AG, Wellspect HealthCare AB, Coloplast A/S, and MacGregor Healthcare Ltd are among the companies offering Aquaflush, IryPump S, Navina Systems, Peristeen, and Qufora, respectively. For patients with fecal incontinence (FI), minimal or less invasive treatments are available that include injectable fillers, neuromodulation therapy in the form of permanent implantation of a sacral nerve stimulator, and radiofrequency remodeling of the anal sphincter (SECCA procedure). Many different biomaterials, for example, autologous fat, Teflon, bovine glutaraldehyde cross-linked collagen, porcine skin collagen, dextranomer microspheres in non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA-Dx), etc., have been tried, but with mixed results. NASHADx has been extensively evaluated for efficacy and safety in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). NASHA-Dx prefilled injection (e.g., Solesta; Salix Pharmaceuticals, Raleigh, USA) in four quadrants 5 mm above the dental line, each 1 mL, can be administered to an outpatient without anesthesia. Patients with persistent FI may be offered a single retreatment after one month. Therefore, the rising awareness regarding this minimally invasive procedure is expected to increase demand for these systems.

Growing Demand in Home Care Settings – An Opportunity for Anal Irrigation Systems Market Growth

Establishing quality community-based health services at home provides emotional and spiritual support and helps prevent and minimize complications in bedridden patients. Home palliative care offers additional benefits to the patient and their family, such as comfort, privacy, familiarity with the environment, security, autonomy, and greater independence. It is also cost-effective as it does not involve repeated trips to the hospital for follow-up visits and unnecessary tests and treatments. Wherever appropriate, home care programs can be used to raise awareness of palliative care. Also, the growing financial status of people would boost the adoption of anal irrigation systems in the coming years.
