The Global Gel Stent Market Share, Trends, Analysis and Forecasts, 2020-2030 provides insights on key developments, business strategies, research & development activities, supply chain analysis, competitive landscape, and market composition analysis.
The global gel stent market size was estimated to be US$ 1.4 billion in 2019 and expected to reach US$ 4.9 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 12.3%. A stent is a small tube that is expandable, and is used in the treatment of narrowed arteries. It is also placed in weak arteries to improve the blood flow and to prevent the arteries from bursting. The stents prove to be very helpful in preventing the arteries from bursting, and in providing a supply of continuous blood flow to the weak arteries. The gel stent is constructed of soft collagen that is derived as gelatin. In the preparation of the gel stent soft collagen-derived gelatin is used. When gel stent is injected, it gets hydrated and swells, which creates an immobile channel that is soft and flexible, and which that adheres to ocular tissue. This operational procedure is minimally invasive. It significantly reduces the intraocular pressure (IOP) by the drainage of fluid to the subconjunctival passage, and the material minimizes the complications as compared to other synthetic materials.
