Global Urolithiasis Management Devices Market 2017-2021

Global urolithiasis management devices market forecast

According to the urolithiasis management devices industry analysis, the global urolithiasis management devices market will grow at a CAGR of around 5% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the growing number of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) procedures as one of the primary growth factors for the urolithiasis management devices market. Rapid advances in medical technologies are responsible for the development of effective and customized products which result in the shift in preference from open surgeries towards minimally invasive (MI) procedures for the removal of kidney stones. ESWL is one of the most frequently used procedures for eliminating kidney stones by directing shock waves coupled with lithotripters of a focused and high-intensity acoustic pulse that is externally-applied to break down the kidney stones. The ESWL procedure has a minimal analgesic requirement with a higher success rate consequently, the increasing demand for urolithiasis management devices.

The market research report identifies the growing adoption of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) devices as one of the key urolithiasis management devices industry trends. PCNL devices and techniques are being increasingly adopted for the treatment of kidney stones that are more than two cm in size and are present near the pelvic region. The technique minimizes incision size, pain, blood loss, and blood transfusions and reduces hospitalization time and has been successful in clearing all stones in one treatment as compared to the ESWL procedure. Consequently, PCNL also improves stone-free rates, decreases operative time, and reduces patient morbidity and mortality supported by new stone retrieval and occlusion devices.
