Global Vascular Guidewires Market 2016-2020

Vascular guidewires industry overview

According to the vascular guidewires market forecast, this market will grow steadily and post a moderate CAGR of around 6% by 2020. One of the major factors positively affecting this market’s growth will be the growing demand for minimally invasive (MI) procedures. The rising demand for MI procedures will be due to benefits such as faster recovery time, less pain, fewer post-surgery infections, reduced hospital stays, reduced incision marks, bleeding control, minimal complications, and heightened accuracy.

Advances in surgical techniques and improvements in equipment handling results help in enhancing surgical precision with a 3D view of the patient; thus, allowing manipulation of small surgical tools for the placement of stents in the individual's body. Also, the usage of guidewires made of materials that provide better flexibility, support, and tracking of the stent during the procedure will lead to the accurate placement of stents as they allow distal device delivery and catheter exchange without the loss of distal wire position.
