Kidney Stone Retrieval Device Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Type of Product (Stone Removal Baskets, Lithotripters, Ureteroscopes, Urinary Stents, Others), By Treatment (Intracorporeal Ureteroscopy, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy, Percutaneous Nephrolithotripsy), By End User (Hospitals & Clinics, Specialty Clinics, Ambulatory Surgery Centres) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Kidney stones, also called renal calculi refers to a medical condition in which clumps of minerals accumulate on the inner walls of the kidney. In certain conditions, the waste products present in the blood form crystals that accumulated over a period of time and form a hard lump-like structure. A kidney stone can sometimes be painful along with other symptoms such as haematuria, nausea, frequent urine sensation and others. There are many surgical treatments available for kidney stones.

The rise in demand for minimally invasive interventions has resulted in the availability of various types of kidney stone retrieval devices in the market. In addition, there is a new product launched in recent years, further strengthening the global kidney stone retrieval device market. In 2018, Boston Scientific Corporation, one of the prominent medical devices manufacturers announced the worldwide launch of LithoVue Empower, a kidney stone retrieval device which is designed to be used along with LithoVue, digital ureteroscopes and compatible with the stone retrieval baskets, which will further boost the global kidney stone retrieval device market growth.
