Results for tag: "Biliary Stent"

A biliary stent is a medical device used to treat biliary obstruction, a condition in which the flow of bile from the liver to the small intestine is blocked. Biliary stents are typically made of metal or plastic and are inserted into the bile ducts to keep them open and allow bile to flow freely. Biliary stents are used in a variety of medical procedures, including endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The biliary stent market is a subset of the larger stent market, which includes coronary, peripheral, and neurovascular stents. The biliary stent market is expected to grow due to increasing prevalence of biliary diseases, technological advancements, and rising demand for minimally invasive procedures. Some of the major companies in the biliary stent market include Boston Scientific Corporation, Cook Medical, Medtronic, Merit Medical Systems, Inc., and Terumo Corporation. Show Less Read more
