1. Sub-Segment: Angioplasty Balloons
Angioplasty balloons, a sub-segment of the peripheral vascular devices market, are extensively used to treat blocked or narrowed blood vessels. These balloons are inserted into the affected area and inflated to widen the artery and improve blood flow. They are widely used in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and are available in different sizes to accommodate various vessel diameters. The increasing prevalence of PAD and the rising demand for minimally invasive procedures are driving the adoption of angioplasty balloons in the market.
