Global Micro Guide Catheters Market Definition

Medical catheters are thin tubes made from medical grade materials. They can be inserted into a body cavity mainly to allow the administration of fluids, medications, gases, and to drain out fluids or urine from the body. Catheters can be used to treat neurological, gastrointestinal, ophthalmic, urological, and cardiovascular diseases. A wide range of polymers is used for the manufacturing of catheters, such as silicone rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, latex and nylon, polyurethane, and polyethylene terephthalate. Among all the polymers, silicone is considered as inert and unreactive to body fluids.

The Micro guide catheter has various properties, such as hydrophobic coating with glide technology, stainless steel braid, which improves the tensile strength, responsiveness, and support for improved push ability to access and cross complex lesions with increased reliability. These is the main advantages of micro guide catheters over conventional ones. Micro guide catheters can be used to treat vascular malformations, uterine fibroids, hyper-vascularized tumors, venal or pulmonary embolism, and arterial embolism. The micro guide catheter is built to approach highly complex lesions in the human anatomy through the most difficult vessels, ducts, or cavities. The stainless steel braid in the Micro guide catheter improves the tensile strength and increases the reliability of the Micro guide catheter.

Global Micro Guide Catheters Market Overview

Increasing diseases and their surgical treatment options are fueling the growth of the Micro Guide Catheters Market. Micro guide catheters have been used in various cardiovascular diseases (CVDS) treatments. According to World Health Organization (WHO) 2017, CVDs are the number one cause of death globally. Estimated mortality rates were 17.7 million in 2015. Increasing prevalence in low and middle-income economies is a major factor fueling the growth of the Micro Guide Catheters Market. In addition, the modern micro guide provides many features over the conventional catheters propelling the growth of the Micro Guide Catheters Market in near future. Conventionally, modern disposable catheters are mainly made up of polyurethane and are provided by manufacturers in different sizes for adults and pediatrics. Most advanced catheters have a thin surface hydrophobic coating, which is smooth, slippery film making the catheters safer and more comfortable to insert. Bio-compatible catheters are being used recently, which is made of a polymeric material having titanium surface. It helps to improve bio-compatibility and enhance lubricity while in surgery.

Furthermore, the rising Geriatric population boosting growth in the Global Micro Guide Catheters Market. The geriatric population is growing at a very fast pace and as per a study conducted recently, it has been noted that one in six people in the world will be aged 65 and above by the year by the year 2050. As per World Health Organization, most people today will reach their 60s and probably beyond. By 2050, about 2 million people will be 60 and over which is a steep rise from the number of people in the age group in 2015 – 900 million. Currently, 125 million people are occupying the age group of 80 and above. This is an important consumer base for the micro-guide catheters market owing to the sheer number and problems associated with age, pushing the Micro Guide Catheters Market towards further growth. Coupling it up with a sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet are propelling the market on a higher curve.

However, Medtronic voluntary recalled for the affected product’s unit, distributed worldwide marked as a major restraining factor. Maintaining the product quality is essential to avoid product recalls. Medtronic’s voluntary recalled many pipelines embolization devices, such as Alligator retrieval device, Ultraflow, marathon flow directed microcatheters, and X-celerator hydrophilic guidewire. This recall was conducted worldwide in 2016, due to the potential separation and detachment of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating on the parts of flow directed microcatheters.
