Urology Disposables Market: Introduction
- Urology is defined as a medical specialty that deals with diseases of the female and male urinary tracts (urethra, kidneys, bladder, and ureters). It also deals with the male reproductive organs (penis, scrotum, testes, and prostate). The prevalence of various urological problems, such as hydrocele, interstitial cystitis, prostate cancer, urinary tract contamination, obstructive uropathy, and hematuria, has increased significantly in the past few years. Urology disposables are medical devices used for precise treatment of these indications. Increase in number of urology disorders & infections and the proliferation of advanced medical units have driven the demand for urology disposables.
