Urolithiasis is referred to as kidney stone and is a condition that is characterized by the presence of a calculi or a solid piece of material in the urinary tract of an individual. This solid mass commonly known as a kidney stone is typically formed in the renal area that is eliminated from the body through the urine stream. The most common symptom is severe pain, which usually occurs on the side of the abdomen, that's often associated with nausea. A kidney stone usually will not cause symptoms until it moves around within the kidney or passes into one of the ureters. The ureters are the tubes that connect the kidneys and bladder, one of the most common devices for the treatment of urolithiasis is the shock wave lithotripter, which is the most common treatment for kidney stones, shock waves from outside the body is targeted at a kidney stone. The rising incidence of chronic kidney diseases and increasing healthcare infrastructure in developing economies are major factors responsible for the growth of the global urolithiasis management devices market. Furthermore, major players in the global urolithiasis management devices market are focused on launching new products to expand their product portfolio which is also expected to assist the market growth during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
Key players in the global urolithiasis management devices market are focused on research and development of the products For instance, according to Springer Nature, a German-British academic publishing company, stated that ongoing research is attempting to improve extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in several different ways, which helped improving in shockwave generation, shockwave measurement, and stone localization should result in increasingly efficient lithotripsy. Futher, the application of the time reversal process to lithotripsy will allow lithotriptors to track stones and electronically steer shock waves toward the target automatically. A reduction in cavitary fields which may result in less pain at the time of treatment.
