Results for tag: "Vena Cava Filter"

The Vena Cava Filter market is a segment of the Cardiovascular Devices industry. It is composed of medical devices used to prevent pulmonary embolism, a condition in which a blood clot travels to the lungs. Vena Cava Filters are inserted into the inferior vena cava, the largest vein in the body, to capture and prevent the clot from reaching the lungs. The filters are typically made of stainless steel and are designed to be retrievable, allowing for removal once the risk of pulmonary embolism has passed. The Vena Cava Filter market is driven by the increasing prevalence of deep vein thrombosis, a condition in which a blood clot forms in the deep veins of the body. This is often caused by prolonged immobility, such as during long-distance travel or hospitalization. The market is also driven by the increasing number of minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopic surgery, which require the use of Vena Cava Filters. Notable companies in the Vena Cava Filter market include Boston Scientific, Cook Medical, and Cordis Corporation. Show Less Read more
