Results for tag: "Drug Eluting Balloon"

The Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB) market is a subset of the medical device industry. DEBs are used to treat peripheral artery disease (PAD) and coronary artery disease (CAD). They are designed to deliver a drug directly to the site of the blockage, allowing for improved efficacy and reduced side effects. DEBs are typically composed of a balloon catheter with a drug-eluting coating. The drug is released when the balloon is inflated, allowing for targeted delivery of the drug to the affected area. DEBs have been shown to be effective in treating PAD and CAD, and are increasingly being used in clinical practice. They offer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional treatments such as stenting and bypass surgery. Some companies in the DEB market include Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, and B. Braun.
