Guidewires are essential tools to track through a vessel, and allow access and ability to cross the lesion with interventional devices. Neurovascular guidewires are of different types based on material coating, size, and design. Neurovascular guidewires are medical devices used to carry stents, catheters, and balloons to cure intracranial blood vessel diseases such as cerebral arteriovenous malformations and aneurysms. Guidewires can be coated with polymers to make them hydrophilic or hydrophobic.
Neurovascular guidewires are metallic and non-metallic structures, which guide a catheter through the blood vessels for placement in cardiology and radiology angiographic procedures. The global Neurovascular Guidewires Market is expected to grow at a rapid pace due to a number of factors. Demand for minimally invasive procedures is increasing due to benefits over open surgeries such as minimal bleeding, lesser postoperative infection, fewer complications, shorter hospital stay, and early recovery. Rise in demand for advanced guidewires with improved lubrication, ease of insertion, and less patient discomfort has created a lucrative opportunity for research and development in this field.
The global neurovascular guidewires market is driven by rise in prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, increase in number of interventional diagnostic procedures, surge in demand for minimally invasive surgeries, and favorable reimbursement scenario. However, high cost of minimally invasive surgeries and complications in guidewire usage are likely to hamper the growth of the global neurovascular guidewires market.
The global neurovascular guidewires market can be segmented based on product type, coating type, material, application, end-user, and region. In terms of product type, the market can be bifurcated into solid guidewire and wrapped guidewire. Based on coating type, the global neurovascular guidewires market can be classified into hydrophobic and hydrophilic. The hydrophobic neurovascular guidewires segment is likely to account for the major share of the market due its wide applications and accessibility. In terms of material, the market can be categorized into stainless steel, nitinol, and hybrid. Nitinol has various advantages over stainless steel and the segment is anticipated to expand at a faster CAGR during the forecast period.
