Astent is a small tube that is expandable and is used for treatment of the narrowed arteries. Stents can also be placed in weak arteries to improve the blood flow and prevent arteries from bursting. The most common surgical treatment for glaucoma is trabeculectomy or trabeculoplasty which are highly effective yet invasive.
The gel stent is made up of soft collagen derived gelatin. On injection, the stent gets hydrated and swells which create a soft and flexible channel that adheres to ocular tissue and cannot move. The procedure is minimally invasive, it reduces the intraocular pressure (IOP) significantly by drainage of fluid to subconjunctival passage, and the material minimizes the complication as compared to other synthetic materials.
The population above the age of 40 is more prone to the disease of eyes and malfunctioning of various eye structures. Thus the rise in geriatric population is one of the major driver that can influence the growth of the gel stent market. Glaucoma is one of the leading cause for blindness. It is estimated that about 3.54 percent of population worldwide has glaucoma.
Rise in prevalence and incidence of glaucoma, rise in healthcare expenditure, minimal invasive procedure as compared to other surgeries, technologically advanced procedure are the factors that can propel the growth of the global gel stent market.
Some factors that can pull back the global gel stent market are rise in the cost of the procedure, less availability of super specialized professionals. The lack of experience and knowledge about the efficacy, technique and the complication of the gel stent are the major factors that can restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The global gel stent market is expected to expand at a significant growth rate across regions. The players operating in this segment are working on their research and development process to build advanced products and increase their product portfolio.
