Guidewires Market: Future Demand and Growth Analysis Date: 03-06-2017 09:23 PM CET Category: Health & Medicine Press release from: Transparency Market Research - Medical Devices
A guidewire is a thin and flexible tube used to guide a catheter for placement in the diseased artery. The catheter is advanced through a guidewire into the blood vessel, then guided to aorta and finally, the guidewire is removed. The most frequent insertion point for the guidewire and catheter is the femoral artery at the groin. Apart from this, other possible insertion points for guidewires include brachial artery and coronary arteries. With the increase in the number of minimally invasive procedures, the demand for guidewires is expected to increase in the next few years. Most guidewires are manufactured from low cost stainless steel with an elastic coil tip to avoid damage to the blood vessels. These guidewires are reusable in nature; hence most manufacturers prefer low cost stainless steel as the choice of raw material. A number of companies offer a robust range of tip shapes and wire configurations making it possible for healthcare experts to choose the right tool for surgical procedures. The usage of guidewiresis growing rapidly in the medical device industry due to its biomechanical properties. Additionally, the demand for guidewires is being fueled by rising patient awareness about the benefits of minimally invasive procedures such as less traumatic surgical experience, reduced hospital stay, and faster recovery. Browse Global Strategic Business Report: www.transparencymarketresearch.com/guidewires-market.html Based on types, the guidewires market has been segmented into the following: Peripheral guidewire Coronary guidewire Neurovascular guidewire Urology guidewire Geographically, the guidewires market can be segmented into four major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW). North America holds a leading position in the guidewires market followed by Europe. The major driving factors for the growth of the guidewires market in these regions arerise in geriatric population, and growing lifestyle diseases. Additionally, increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, unique biomechanical properties of guidewires, and growing inclination of healthcare professionals toward the usage of efficient medical devices are some of the factors
