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.
