GLOBAL URINARY CATHETER MARKET TRENDS
A significant benefit of single-use catheters over their reusable counterparts comes from a lower risk of urinary tract infection (UTI), however, this also comes with a significantly higher cost. As a result, patients can be forced to repeatedly use single-use devices, thus increasing the risk of infection and limiting unit sales in the total catheter market. The vast majority of catheters are used on an everyday basis by patients with spina bifida, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, an enlarged prostate, diabetes, mental, and movement disorders.
