Global Urinary Catheter Market Outlook 2018-2023

Global Urinary Catheter Market is expected to grow significantly in the years to come owing to the increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, growing incidences of kidney failures, cardiovascular diseases, and urinary bladder. Urinary catheters are partially flexible hollow tubes that collect urine from the bladder and accumulates it in a drainage bag. The catheters are made from either rubber, plastic (PVC) or silicone. They are used when an individual is unable to empty the bladder, in cases of urinary incontinence and urinary retention. Bladder, if not emptied, leads to kidney pressure, which may also damage them, sometimes permanent damage. To avoid this kind of risky kidney failure, urinary catheters are used.
