Worldwide Catheter Market hits $15 billion, says new report available from Piribo.com

The coronary catheter market remains one of the biggest and fastest growing segments worth $5.5 billion accounting for about 52 percent of the total market in terms of value. Unlike some of the other catheter segments, the coronary segment has undergone enormous changes with highly innovative, effective, minimally invasive devices being brought to the market.

The 52 page report notes that as a result of age-related illness, catheter usage in hospitals, nursing homes, and the homecare sector has been growing. This has led to challenges posed by increased nosocomial infections and re-use rates which have been effectively addressed by manufacturers who have developed innovative drug coated catheters to address these concerns.
