Ureteral stents are small tubes inserted into the ureter to treat or prevent a blockage that prevents the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder. Ureteral stents are flexible in nature and approximately 10 inches in length. The most common application of ureteral stents is the treatment of kidney stones. Other applications include stricture (abnormal narrowing of the ureter), and tumors pushing the ureter, leading to a blockage. Moreover, swollen, inflamed, or damaged ureteral tubes in need of healing can have a stent placed to keep the kidney draining during the healing process.
The global ureteral stents market size was valued at US$ 492.6 million in 2017 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period (2018 – 2026).
