An occlusion catheter is a type of catheter used to block or occlude a blood vessel or other body cavity. It is typically used to treat conditions such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and vascular malformations. Occlusion catheters are typically made of a flexible material such as polyurethane or silicone, and are inserted into the body through a small incision. The catheter is then advanced to the desired location and inflated with a balloon or other device to block the vessel or cavity. Occlusion catheters are used in a variety of medical procedures, including angioplasty, embolization, and thrombolysis. They are also used in the treatment of cancer, as well as in the treatment of stroke and other neurological disorders. The occlusion catheter market is a rapidly growing segment of the catheter industry. It is driven by the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular and neurological diseases, as well as the growing demand for minimally invasive treatments. Some of the major companies in the occlusion catheter market include Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Abbott, Cook Medical, and Terumo. Show Less Read more
