Endovenous Ablation Devices Market

Endovenous ablation devices are used to treat chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) with varicose veins. These type of devices are specially designed for minimally invasive procedures. Symptoms of varicose veins disease include large, swollen veins that often appear on legs and feet. This is happened when veins do not work properly, resulted blood does not flow effectively. In severe cases, varicose veins may rupture, or develop into varicose ulcers on the skin.

There are three type of endovenous ablation devices available in the market: endovenous laser ablation therapy (EVLT) devices, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) devices, and non-thermal non-tumescent (NTNT) devices. Endovenous laser ablation therapy is a method of treating varicose veins without surgery, in which, veins are heated by a laser. Radiofrequency ablation involves using an electrical current produced by a radio wave to heat up the nerve tissues in the affected area of a vein, thereby reducing the pain in that area.

Global Endovenous Ablation Devices Market: Dynamics

Increase in Prevalence of Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Associated Risk Factors to Boost Market

Increase in prevalence of chronic venous insufficiency is a major factor for expansion of the endovenous ablation devices market. According to a recent study, around 10% of adults suffer from chronic venous insufficiency. The prevalence of chronic venous insufficiency disease is high in developed countries as compared to developing countries. Untreated chronic venous insufficiency disease becomes life threatening. In addition, increasing prevalence of obesity, aging, smoking, and lack of physical activities are likely to cause chronic venous insufficiency disease. All these factors are expected to boost the market.

Focus on Launch of Innovative Products to Boost Endovenous Ablation Devices Market

Manufacturers operating in the endovenous ablation devices market are strongly focusing on increasing investments in the research & development activities to design and develop new and innovative endovenous ablation devices. For instance, Medtronic plc has developed an innovative product, VenaSeal Closure System, which is the only non-thermal, non-tumescent, and non-sclerosant procedure that uses a proprietary medical adhesive delivered endovenously to close the vein.
