ENT Devices are used in the identification, therapy, or surgical treatment of any ear, nose and throat disorders. These devices help in correcting problems related to hearing, smell, snoring, or speaking. Some of the ENT devices available in the market are endoscopes, hearing aids, hearing screening instruments, hearing implants, ear tubes, voice prosthesis devices, surgical devices, powered surgical tools, image-guided surgery systems, balloon dilation devices which are used in sinus, CO2 lasers, among others.
Promising Prospects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Global ENT Devices Market
The advent of AI is projected to revolutionize the evolution of image-guided ENT and skull base procedures and favorably impact the diagnosis of laryngeal cancers. Citing the potential prospects of AI in the ENT devices market, all key players are incessantly striving to launch innovative products in the global ENT devices market.
For instance:
- In September 2021, Acclarent launched its first-ever AI-powered ENT technology in the U.S., designed to simplify surgical planning and provide real-time feedback during ENT navigation procedures.
- Similarly, AI is poised to make giant strides in the field of Otolaryngology. The Netherlands based company WSK Medical is optimistic that by the end of the year 2023, European otolaryngologists may be using artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose laryngeal cancer. The company has developed a platform - Zeno AI - that gives ENT-surgeons a real-time AI analysis of early laryngeal cancer detection that can be utilised during an endoscopic examination (laryngoscopy). Zeno AI considerably reduces time to analyse complex medical data and assists in diagnosing laryngeal cancer faster. The product is not commercialized yet but it is already in use in two European academic medical centers and in proving helpful in identifying laryngeal lesions.
Technological Innovations and Advancements Triggers the ENT Devices Market's Growth
The global ENT devices market has witnessed a significant number of technological advancements and innovations over the years. The technological advancements in ENT devices market is expected to spur its demand in the upcoming years.
For instance:
- In August 2022, Preceptis Medical secured U.S. FDA clearance for expanded indications for use for the Hummingbird® Tympanostomy Tube System (TTS) for office-based pediatric ear tube procedures. The system was previously cleared in children 6-24 months, this new labeling allows in-office procedures in all children six months and older.
- In April 2022, Atmos MedizinTechnik GmbH & Co. KG launched the next generation of endoscopes for ENT and swallowing diagnostics — the Atmos Scope. The flexible HD video nasopharyngolaryngoscope sets new standards with its high image resolution and, via its USB interface, enables mobile use with portable devices.
