Advanced Technology Catheters Market Structure Analysis for the Period 2016 - 2024
Verfasser: yogesh on Tuesday, 12 March 2019Catheters are the tubes which are made from medical fine grade materials such as silicon rubber, plastic, nylon or PVC for multiple functions. Catheters are inserted into the patient’s body to diagnose the disease or perform surgical procedure to treat the disease. Medical procedures such as cardiac electrophysiology, angioplasty and neurosurgery require catheterization as primary co-procedure. Advanced technology catheter is a minimally invasive medical device that consists of braid reinforced tube, a thin walled and shaft with multiple durometers. Advanced technology catheters assist physicians to map the body systems and helps to ablate body tissue. These Advanced technology catheters enable the delivery and placement of other implantable devices such as heart valves, emboli, stents etc. Generally, advanced technology catheters are used in minimally invasive cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and neurovascular procedures. Peripheral advanced technological catheters are generally larger than 6 French (Fr), cardiovascular advanced technology catheters are generally less than 6Fr, and neurovascular advanced technology catheters are as small as 2.3Fr depending on the specific application. Certain specific characters of catheters like pushability, trackability, torqueability, kink resistance are essential for success of the advance technology catheters.
