Vascular Patches Offer Excellent Biocompatibility and Proven Long-Term Mechanical Stability for Vascular Surgeries

 

Vascular patches are a novel method for performing non-surgical treatments with an emphasis on the patient's overall health. The rising number of patients experiencing cardiac diseases is supporting the vascular patches industry to grow rapidly, both organically and commercially. The growth in demand for minimally invasive procedures is expected to increase even further as health costs continue to rise.

By specializing in either mechanical or vascular patches, a technician is able to offer a myriad of services to medical centers, hospitals, and clinical practices. These services are quickly expanding into other areas such as orthopedics and neurological practices, making the market growth of this industry extremely fast and wide spread. While these two areas tend to focus their business around specific surgeries and procedures, there is no reason that a skilled vascular patches specialist should not offer his services to other areas as well.

One of the fastest growing segments within the U.S. vascular patches industry is the orthopedic market. Orthopedic patients typically experience injuries resulting from external trauma such as falls, car accidents, sports injury, etc., which tend to lead to compression of the spinal discs. For this reason, there is an increased demand for minimally invasive procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which require an extended period of time after surgery to allow sufficient oxygen to reach the patient. For this reason, many patients choose to undergo an MRI vascular patch or ultrasound in order to determine their prognosis before their operation. Other procedures, such as endovascular techniques, are also being used more often in this area due to the faster recovery times associated with them.

Another rapidly growing market within the field of vascular surgeries is biocompatibility. Biocompatibility refers to the materials used in the manufacturing of the patches themselves. While most biocompatibility patches are comprised of silicon-based compounds, there are also many others that are made of nickel titanium, rubber compound, and even cork. Depending upon the type of patch chosen, they will be able to provide a higher level of resistance to fluid migration and scar formation, which makes them extremely useful in surgical situations where sutures are not a traditional concern.
