In April 2024, NICO Corporation will introduce the Myriad SPECTRA System, a technology designed for the precise surgical removal of high-grade glioma brain tumors using fluorescence guidance. The novel portable technology is specifically engineered to aid surgeons in the fluorescence-guided excision of Grade III and IV gliomas. When used with suitable surgical microscopes, it has the ability to provide white light to enhance the visibility of tumors and clots, as well as blue light to assist in the surgical removal of gliomas using fluorescence guidance. The Myriad SPECTRA System provides a distinct blend of lighting, removal, gathering, and conservation of biological tissue. This technique is suitable for surgeries that aim to treat brain tumors and intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH), which are regarded as the most severe and expensive types of strokes. The device is capable of accommodating both minimally invasive and open craniotomy surgical methods. NICO intends to introduce the device during the forthcoming American Association of Neurosurgical Surgeons (AANS) Annual Scientific Meeting in Chicago. The device's versatile features enable surgeons to seamlessly transition between full-spectrum white light and additional blue excitation light, improving the surgical view while maintaining the precise positioning of surgical optics. It has recently obtained approval from the US Food and Drug Administration and is also officially authorized for sales and clinical usage by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.

In August 2023, GE HealthCare introduced the Vscan Air SL, a handheld ultrasound device, at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This device combines proprietary image enhancing technology and the capability to perform both vascular and cardiac assessments at the point of care. GE HealthCare stated that the Vscan Air SL, a handheld ultrasound instrument, has improved sensitivity and resolution by utilizing the exclusive SignalMax and XDclear technology. According to GE HealthCare, the Vscan Air SL has a dual-headed probe that allows physicians to access sector and linear arrays on the same device. This capacity makes it easier for clinicians to quickly analyze the vascular and heart health of patients. The increasing potency of portable ultrasound devices is revolutionizing patient treatment. Whether in a hospital ward or in a general practice setting, the ability to deliver imaging of excellent quality at the location where healthcare is provided is crucial for prompt diagnosis and treatment. 

Handheld Surgical Devices Trends

• The growing prevalence of chronic disorders, such as cardiovascular, neurological, urological, and infectious diseases fuels market growth

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, neurological, urological, and infectious diseases are increasing globally. Heart disorders are becoming more common than other chronic diseases due to a lack of physical activity, being overweight, smoking, poor nutrition, or having a family history. Furthermore, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia are all risk factors for cardiovascular disease. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 20.1 million adults aged 20 and older had coronary artery disease in 2020. People over the age of 60 are at a higher risk of developing diseases such as cardiovascular, orthopedic, and neurological issues. Some people with these conditions or diseases have to undergo surgery. Therefore, an increase in cardiovascular, orthopedic, and neurological issues is expected to boost the demand for handheld surgical devices. The use of high-quality devices by surgeons is a constant priority in order to execute surgeries efficiently and quickly without compromising the health of the patient. Therefore, variables that are causing a surge in the need for handheld surgical devices include the rising prevalence of chronic conditions like cardiovascular, neurological, urological, and infectious diseases.
