Market Overview:
The urolithiasis management devices market comprises products used for diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones. This includes lithotripsy devices, ureteroscopes, nephroscopes, and stone retrieval devices. Lithotripsy devices have the largest market share as they provide non-invasive treatment for breaking kidney stones into smaller fragments which helps in easier removal.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the urolithiasis management devices market is the increasing popularity of minimally invasive surgeries. Minimally invasive surgeries such as ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy offer advantages over conventional open surgeries such as reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery time. Technological advancements are enabling wider application of minimally invasive surgeries. For instance, digital flexible ureteroscopes provide high definition visualization for efficient stone manipulation and retrieval. Advancements in lithotripsy devices such as compact size, higher efficacy in breaking stones, and versatility for extracorporeal and intracorporeal procedures are encouraging their adoption.
Segment Analysis
The global Urolithiasis Management Devices Market Demand is segmented on the basis of device type, procedure type, end user and geography.By device type, the market is segmented into lithotripsy devices, ureterorenoscopes, nephroscopes and others. Among these, the lithotripsy devices segment dominated the market in 2022 due to high adoption of these devices for minimally invasive stone treatment. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has high success rate and no incision requirement which makes it most commonly used procedure for stone treatment across the world.
By procedure type, the market is segmented into extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, intracorporeal ureterolithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and others. The extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy segment accounted for largest share in 2022 owing to its wide application in treatment of renal stones as well as ureteric stones.
