Global Over-The-Wire Micro-Guide Catheter Market Overview
The Over The Wire Micro Guide Catheter Market Size was valued at USD 1.32 Billion in 2023. The Global Over The Wire Micro Guide Catheter industry is projected to grow from USD 1.67 Billion in 2024 to USD 2.45 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.67% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Over-the-wire micro-guide catheters are in-vitro tests that use antigen-antibody reaction to detect the concentrations of a wide range of biological substances in the blood and other fluids. Over-the-wire micro-guide catheters are extensively used in several areas of pharmaceutical research such as therapeutic drug monitoring, disease diagnosis, clinical pharmacokinetics, and bioequivalence studies in drug discovery, among others.
Growing preference towards minimally invasive surgical procedures, technological advancements in over-the-wire micro-guide catheters, an increasing number of patients suffering from cardiac and neurovascular disorders, rising geriatric population are the major drivers propelling market growth. However, the risk of infections, lack of skilled physicians may constrain the growth of the market.
In February 2024, BIOTRONIK is delighted to introduce the Micro Rx™ catheter, an innovative rapid exchange microcatheter that has been designed to simplify the process of improving guidewire support during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). This innovative device, which is exclusively distributed by BIOTRONIK, is produced by IMDS (Interventional Medical Device Solutions). The Micro Rx catheter is the fourth IMDS product that BIOTRONIK has introduced to the United States, resulting in a compelling portfolio of devices that includes NHancer Rx, TrapIT, and ReCross catheters. The Micro Rx catheter is equipped with a reinforced distal shaft that is constructed with a core wire sandwiched between two layers of braids to facilitate optimal push transfer. Additionally, it has a tapered tip with the tiniest leading edge on the market, which provides increased penetration force. Furthermore, it is equipped with a Proximal-End-Stop that has been meticulously designed to facilitate the seamless integration of a guide extension catheter2 to augment its support. The Micro Rx catheter is engineered to prioritize user-friendly intervention, thereby eliminating the necessity for trapping, in recognition of the complexities associated with traversing through challenging vascular anatomies, such as highly stenosed lesions and tortuous vessels. The objective of this method is to reduce the risk of vascular trauma during procedures, thereby reducing the duration of patients' exposure to the catheterization lab environment and the associated risks. It has the capacity to facilitate the successful treatment of more intricate anatomies by non-chronic total occlusion (CTO) operators.
In April 2022, Transit Scientific announced that its XO Cross Support Catheter Platform had been cleared by the FDA for coronary use. The platform is intended to facilitate the exchange of wires, guide and support a guidewire during access to the peripheral or coronary vasculature, and provide a conduit for the delivery of saline solutions or diagnostic contrast agents. Support catheters are employed to assist in the navigation of guidewires through intricate lesions and to facilitate guidewire exchanges during interventional procedures in patients with peripheral or coronary artery disease. Legacy technologies frequently fail to provide adequate guidewire support, are susceptible to kinking, and lack the pushability necessary to effectively navigate severe calcifications and plaque. The XO Cross Support Catheter platform is engineered to provide unprecedented levels of torque response, flexibility, trackability, and pushability, thereby facilitating access to tortuosity and challenging lesions. The non-tapered metal-alloy and polymer construction provides outstanding fatigue resistance against the challenging, intricate lesions that are present in advanced coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral artery disease (PAD), and critical limb ischemia (CLI).
Over-The-Wire Micro-Guide Catheter Market Trends
Growing preference for minimally invasive surgical procedures. For instance, according to the American Heart Association and Stroke Statistics (2017), about 92.1 million American adults are living with cardiovascular diseases and strokes, and cardiovascular diseases are the significant causes of death globally which accounted for 17.9 million deaths per year in 2015. The number is expected to reach more than 23.6 million by 2030. Additionally, technological advancements in over-the-wire micro-guide catheters, an increasing number of patients suffering from cardiac and neurovascular disorders, and increasing geriatric population are likely to support market growth. On the other hand, risk of infections, lack of skilled physicians is anticipated to hamper the market growth.
