Market Overview

Innovative Drug-device Combinations Promote Market Advancement

The growing popularity among surgeons for drug-device combination products, coupled with advanced imaging techniques that improve the accuracy of surgical procedures using peripheral vascular stents and AAA stent-grafts, are promoting the adoption of such devices. The treatment of peripheral arterial disease using drug-device combination products is a new practice, notes the analyst of this research. The introduction of peripheral vascular drug eluting stents for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has opened up the market for other participants with novel combinations.

Developments in imaging technology have improved the accuracy and safety of vascular surgery and implantation, leading to an increase in the number of attempted stenting procedures. Refinement of imaging technology has enabled real-time monitoring of both vascular anatomy and function before and during surgery. Technologies that play a significant role in vascular surgery include computed tomography (CT), ultrasound and angiography.

The positive outcome of clinical trials is encouraging increased stent use, states the analyst. While most industry experts concur that the off-label use of peripheral stents is a widespread practice, especially in the United States, it is important to note that indication specific stents are sought by clinicians and offer growth opportunities for manufacturers. Currently, several clinical trials are underway to prove the safety, efficacy and merits of both renal and carotid stents. Clinical trials for stents serve dual purposes. They attract attention from clinicians, who will ultimately perform such procedures. Furthermore, if the outcomes of these trials are positive, then physicians, specialists and patients alike will be interested in pursuing stent procedures as a treatment for renal and carotid vascular diseases, thereby increasing the market for stents.

Offering one-stop-shop solutions, developing long-standing client relationships, fostering extensive distribution channels and investing in R&D will be key competitive factors, advises the analyst. Developing local market knowledge, forging flexible collaborative alliances with end users and designing niche products will also be key to success.
