“Increasing Adoption of Bioresorbable Stents”
One prominent trend in the metal stent market is the increasing adoption of bioresorbable stents, which are designed to dissolve gradually in the body over time. Unlike traditional metal stents, which remain permanently in place, bioresorbable stents provide temporary support to the blood vessel, allowing it to regain its natural function without the long-term presence of a foreign object. This innovative approach addresses concerns related to late stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis. For instance, recent advancements in bioresorbable technology have led to the development of stents such as the Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold, which has demonstrated promising outcomes in clinical trials. As healthcare providers and patients seek more effective and less invasive treatment options, the metal stent market is expected to witness significant growth driven by this trend toward bioresorbable alternatives, enhancing patient safety and satisfaction in cardiovascular interventions.
