Nephrology and Urology Devices are getting better with continuous research and development activities by market players
Nephrology is a field of medicine which concerns itself with the study of normal kidney function, kidney problems, the treatment of kidney problems and renal replacement therapy. Nephrology and urology devices are used in the treatment of urinary systems such as chronic kidney disease, kidney stone, urinary incontinence, and end-stage renal disease. With the advancement in technology, the adoption of innovative Nephrology and Urology devices has increased significantly.
One of the most recent developments in Nephrology and Urology Devices is the development of Ultrasound Technology. Ultrasound technology actually uses ultrasound waves for diagnostic purposes. These waves can be directed to the prostate in order for the doctor to properly locate the exact location of the prostate in the body. Once this is located, doctors can use different tests such as Computer Assisted Tomography (CAT) scanner, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner, and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging for more detailed examination. These tests will help doctors to detect any abnormalities or disease in the prostate. These can be used in conjunction with X-rays or CT scans for a more comprehensive examination.
This high correlation between kidney failure and aforementioned disorders is expected to accentuate the demand for urology & nephrology devices. Moreover, the cases of diabetes and hypertension are increasing in developing countries of Asia Pacific (APAC) & Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions, owing to changes in lifestyle and rising geriatric population.
A new type of dialysis machine was also developed in North America. It is called an ICD robot. This robot is programmed to deliver a personalized solution to patients. In this case, it is the customized dialysis machine that is used to administer the solution. The largest share of the global urology devices market, however, is still controlled by the devices manufactured in the U.K. One of the other technologies that are making an increasing geriatric population anxious is Ultrasound imaging. In the past, ultrasound imaging was used primarily to find problems in the cranial cavity. As time has progressed, technology is being used more in the male reproductive area for the prevention of disorders such as prostate, testicular, and prostate cancer. As we move into the baby boomer generation, the number of people suffering from these types of disorders is expected to continue to rise. Recently, in November 2020, Boston Scientific launched a new product SpaceOAR Vue hydrogel for prostate cancer patients.
