Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/25/2017 -- Urology guidewires are used to guide the catheters through the blood vessels for placement. Based on the material coating, size, and design, urology guidewires are of different types. Urology guidewires are commonly placed within the urinary tract to provide access and security during endoscopic operations. The 150 cm length wires and .035, .038 diameter size are most commonly used. Hydrophilic guidewire require the least amount of force to blend the flexible tip. Based on wire type, urology guidewires are classified into extra stiff wires, hybrid wires etc. Extra stiff wires are commonly used for passage of ureteral access sheaths, catheters, and coaxial or balloon ureteral dilators.

Hybrid wires are used for coaxial placement of stents and sheaths. Flexible-tip PTFE guidewires are highly preferred in standard conditions as hydrophilic guidewires are expensive. The innovation of next generation hybrid guidewires will create a significant opportunity for the global urology guidewires market. In 2015, C. R. Bard, Inc., launched next generation hybrid guidewires known as "Bard® Solo™ Plus Hybrid Guidewires" which is intended for use in facilitating the placement of endourological instruments during diagnostic or interventional procedures.

Factors such as growing prevalence of urological disorders, increasing number of surgeries, government focus on providing better healthcare facilities, and rising per capita expenditure are factors which will drive the global urology guidewires market. According to American Cancer Society, about 79,030 new cases of bladder cancer has been estimated in the U.S., in 2017. Technological advancement and new product launch are other factors which will accelerate the urology guidewires market growth globally.
