Global Nephrostomy Devices Market By Product (Guidewires, Sheath Dilators, Nephrostomy Catheters, Drainage Tubes and Other Nephrostomy Devices) By End Use (Hospital, Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) and Emergency Clinics)

Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Nephrostomy Devices Market size is expected to reach $1.5 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 8% CAGR during the forecast period. The growing popularity of percutaneous nephrostomy processes is a key factor in creating potential growth opportunities for the nephrostomy device industry. Several complications are required for traditional open-label operations, which lead to increased demands for minimally invasive operations like the PCN. For the blockage in the upper urinary tract, PCN is a minimally invasive procedure. This procedure is used as a first-line treatment for patients with kidney stones larger than 2 cm. The incision is about 1 cm lower and results in faster recovery and shorter hospitalization stays.

Global Nephrostomy Devices Market Size

Nephrostomy is an opening that exists between the skin and the kidney. A nephrostomy tube that is passed from the back, is a thin plastic tube inserted through the skin, into the kidney, to the spot where urine is collected. The task of the tube is to drain the blocked urine. This enables the proper functioning of the kidney and protects it from further damage. Nephrostomy tubes help to clear out any infection. The entire procedure is guided by ultrasound and/or X-ray images (or pictures). Contrast has also injected the part of the kidney which collects urine. With this, the tube can easily drain the kidney to be inserted into the collecting system.

Nephrostomy catheter placement is mostly conducted by interventional radiologists through image guidance within radiology or operating room. The most prevalent cause behind nephrostomy is the cancer of the reproductive organs. Dilation catheters are major preferences for treating percutaneous dilation challenges. Though contraindicated for pregnant women, percutaneous nephrostomy is suggested for certain patients who show symptoms of urolithiasis during pregnancy. Nephrostomy devices are essential in cases where patients suffer from urinary tract infections, benign prostate hyperplasia, bladder prolapse, urinary incontinence, etc.
