A narrow, hollow tube called an arterial catheter is inserted into an artery (blood vessel) in the wrist, groyne, or another area to measure blood pressure more precisely than using a blood pressure cuff. The intensive care unit refers to this as an “art line” frequently (ICU).
When measuring the amounts of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) in the bloodstream on a regular basis, the catheter can also be used to obtain blood samples.
On occasion, blood may also be taken for other lab testing. For invasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring and intravascular access for blood collection in high-risk surgical and critically unwell patients, intra-arterial catheters—also known as arterial cannulas or A-lines—are frequently placed.
The Global Arterial Catheter market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
New peripheral IVL Arterial catheter launched by Shockwave Medical.
The catheter is specifically made to treat calcified lesions in the iliac, femoral, iliofemoral, popliteal, infrapopliteal, and renal arteries in the lower limbs that are otherwise difficult to treat.
According to a press statement from the company, the Shockwave M5+ catheter is specifically created to shorten IVL treatment times, offer alternate access options, and expand IVL therapy to patients with bigger vessel diameters. Their most recent effort to broaden the technology’s application to a wider range of patient demographics and anatomy is the release of Shockwave M5+.
They are excited about the global rollout of Shockwave M5+ and the opportunity to give customers a new tool to improve treatment options—with the continuous dependability and ease of IVL that doctors have grown to anticipate when treating patients with Shockwave IVL—after a very successful restricted launch.
Shockwave M5+ integrates important user feedback to improve IVL efficiency in addressing complicated calcified lesions, including speedier cycle time that delivers two pulses per second, an expanded catheter length of 135cm, and a new, larger 8mm size.
