Lead Extraction Tools Global Market Report 2025

The lead extraction tools market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.13 billion in 2024 to $1.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the historic period resulted from the rising implantation of pacemakers and ICDs, growing incidence of lead failures and infections, increasing clinical adoption of transvenous extraction techniques, technological progress in extraction tools, and strengthened regulatory support for device safety, which collectively fueled the market’s early expansion.

The lead extraction tools market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.83 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period will be driven by the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, growing adoption of minimally invasive cardiac procedures, an increasing aging population with implanted cardiac devices, rising awareness of lead-related complications, and expanding healthcare investments in cardiac care. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in laser and mechanical extraction technologies, innovation in sheath and catheter design, integration of imaging and navigation systems, technological collaboration among medtech companies, and the development of safety-focused extraction tools, all of which will shape future progress.

The rising prevalence of cardiovascular disease is expected to drive the growth of the lead extraction tools market in the coming years. Cardiovascular disease encompasses a group of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, resulting from a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors, and remains a leading cause of death worldwide. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease is increasing due to unhealthy lifestyles, including poor diet and physical inactivity, which place stress on the heart and blood vessels over time, leading to higher rates of heart-related illnesses. Lead extraction tools assist in managing cardiovascular disease by safely removing malfunctioning or infected cardiac device leads, thereby reducing complications and improving overall heart function and patient outcomes. For example, in May 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based international public health agency, reported that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of disability and premature death in the European Region, accounting for more than 42.5% of all deaths annually, equivalent to approximately 10,000 deaths each day. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease is fueling the growth of the lead extraction tools market.

Key players in the lead extraction tools market are focusing on technological innovations, such as mechanical dilation sheaths, to improve procedural efficiency, safety, and precision during cardiac lead removal. A mechanical dilation sheath is a specialized device used in lead extraction procedures to safely remove implanted cardiac leads by mechanically dilating fibrotic tissue, ensuring controlled extraction with minimal damage to surrounding structures. For instance, in August 2025, Mednovo Group Co., Ltd., a China-based company, launched a proprietary trio of medical devices designed to enable safe and efficient cardiac lead extraction, marking a notable advancement in interventional cardiology. This product lineup combines precision engineering with advanced mechanical dilation technology to enhance procedural control and patient safety, demonstrating Mednovo’s commitment to developing high-performance cardiovascular solutions for complex lead removal procedures.

In September 2024, Merit Medical Systems, Inc., a US-based medical device company, acquired Cook Medical Inc. for $210 million. Through this acquisition, Merit Medical Systems aims to expand its product portfolio and strengthen its position in the cardiovascular device market by incorporating Cook Medical’s technologies and expertise in lead management solutions. Cook Medical Inc., based in the US, specializes in providing lead extraction tools.

The regions covered in lead extraction tools report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa. The countries covered in the lead extraction tools market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

This lead extraction tools market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

Lead extraction tools are specialized medical devices and systems used to remove cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) leads - such as pacemaker or defibrillator leads - from a patient’s heart or vasculature when they become infected, damaged, malfunctioning, or no longer required. These tools enable safe and controlled removal of leads that have become embedded or scarred into vessel walls or cardiac tissue.

The main components of lead extraction tools include mechanical lead extraction tools, laser lead extraction tools, powered sheath extraction tools, and others. Lead extraction tools are specialized devices designed for the safe removal of implanted cardiac leads, with mechanical lead extraction tools specifically using manual or powered mechanical sheaths, cutting systems, or rotational mechanisms to loosen and extract the leads. The various applications include pacemaker lead extraction, defibrillator lead extraction, and others, and they serve end users such as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, specialty clinics, and additional healthcare facilities.
