Results for tag: "Bioabsorbable Stent"

The Bioabsorbable Stent market is a subset of the larger Stent market. Bioabsorbable Stents are medical devices used to treat coronary artery disease. They are made of biodegradable materials that dissolve over time, allowing the artery to return to its natural state. This type of stent is advantageous over traditional metal stents, as it eliminates the need for a second procedure to remove the stent. Bioabsorbable Stents are also beneficial in that they reduce the risk of restenosis, a condition in which the artery becomes blocked again after stent placement. Notable companies in the Bioabsorbable Stent market include Abbott, Biotronik, Elixir Medical, and Biosensors International. Show Less Read more
