X-Ray Glove Market

Market Overview

X-rays use ionizing radiations to generate images of organs in the body. The patient is exposed to an X-ray beam where the x-rays are absorbed or scattered by the internal structures and the remaining are passed to the detector, which processes the image.

Hands are an important part of the body and their exposure to the X-ray beam should be limited. X-ray gloves are used to constrict and disable the scattered radiation in the benefit of the healthcare providers who are continuously exposed to X-rays.

These imaging devices find vast application in healthcare facilities such as in X-ray machines, CT-scans, MRI and mammography. Patients and coworkers who are constantly exposed to radiations may have cell damage, which could lead to the development of tumors and cancers.

These imaging tests are useful in the case of patients as they are not frequently exposed to the radiations. On the other hand, X-ray gloves are essential for healthcare providers who are frequently exposed to radiations. X-ray gloves provide a protective barrier, which helps in the attenuation of radiations. These X-ray gloves help in preventing direct contact with the body, while still enabling successful procedures.

The x-ray glove market is primarily driven by the increasing number of examinations and procedures for many indications such as cancers, angiography, MRI and others. Moreover, as the X-ray is a noninvasive technique that helps in the diagnosis of diseases in a short time, patients are opting for X-ray among all diagnosis tests, which in turn is driving the demand for X-ray gloves. X-rays are also useful for heart patients as they guide medical professionals during the insertion of catheters or stents.

Moreover, X-ray gloves are mandatory for healthcare professionals as they are frequently exposed to the ionizing radiations, which have the potential to damage the DNA. Individuals frequently exposed to these radiations also face a risk of developing cancer later in life. In procedures such as fluoroscopy, the skin is exposed to radiations for a longer period of time and thus, there is a chance of tissue damage.

This damage can be prevented with the use of X-ray gloves as a protection barrier. The awareness regarding X-ray gloves among developing nations is low and with its rise, the markets in the regions will witness phenomenal growth in the coming years.
