The report outlines the important types of infusion pumps, projects sales and discusses the key competitors that make and offer pumps for sale. This report classifies two basic kinds of medical infusion pump: traditional pumps and specialty pumps:

Traditional Infusion Pumps

Traditional medical infusion pumps are employed in a range of applications and settings from basic fluids for hydration to administering pain medications and antibiotics. Such pumps have been used in long-term care settings, hospitals, physician’s offices, and home settings. This can be further broken out to uses specifically in the emergency department, operating room, and neonate department. The three types of products in the traditional segment include:

• Large volume infusion Pumps
• Ambulatory infusion pumps (Chemotherapy Pumps and Disposable Pumps)
• Syringe infusion Pumps

Specialty Infusion Pumps

To accommodate a particular type of fluid or medication, specialty medical infusion pumps are typically designed. Most often these pumps are employed in home settings, fashioned to meet the requirements of active patients, such as those patients having diabetes.

The following products comprise the specialty medical infusion pump segment:

• Insulin Infusion Pumps
• Enteral Feeding Pumps
