A flexible plastic tube is referred to as a catheter. They serve as a means of transferring fluids into and out of the body in the context of healthcare. The device that drains pee from the bladder may be the one that is most familiar.
The epidural catheter, which is typically about 1mm in diameter and thinner than a piece of uncooked spaghetti, is significantly smaller than a urinary catheter.
In order to maintain the numbness that reduces the discomfort of contraction, the epidural catheter is inserted into the epidural space between two of the vertebrae in your lower back. Medication is then given through the catheter by a pump.
In many clinical circumstances, spinal anaesthesia combined with an epidural catheter is a good anaesthetic technique. When used properly, it is risk-free, and efficient, and rarely causes problems. In some patient populations, it may also be able to offer long-term analgesia when necessary.
Over the past few decades, epidural catheters have changed as manufacturers and clinicians have worked to improve the level of anaesthetic and analgesia while lowering the frequency of problems linked to catheter use.
This change has made it easier to enter the epidural space, spread medication more widely, and ultimately increase patient satisfaction.
This advancement has made it possible to switch from single-shot to continuous-infusion procedures.
The Global epidural catheters market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The market-leading1 Arrow FlexTip Plus Single-Port catheter has been replaced by the new Arrow FlexTip Plus Multi-Port epidural catheter, which was just introduced by Teleflex Incorporated.
This comes after the recent 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the new gadget.
