The demand for durable medical equipment is primarily being boosted by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases across the globe. The growing number of individuals with disabilities underscores the necessity for medical equipment capable of facilitating mobility within various environments. The major cause of disabilities in people is a disease associated with nerve damage, limb loss, paralysis, etc. The growing geriatric population is also creating the demand for durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs and crutches which results in the expansion of the market. These are some of the key factors that are responsible for contributing to the positive growth of the durable medical equipment market during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medtronic Received FDA Approval for Affera\u2122 Mapping and Ablation System and Sphere-9\u2122 Catheter, Pioneering Advances in Arrhythmia Treatment&nbsp; On October 24, 2024, Medtronic plc, a global leader in healthcare technology, announced the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of its Affera\u2122 Mapping and Ablation System, paired with the Sphere-9\u2122 Catheter.
