Results for tag: "Snared Device"

Snared devices are a type of surgical device used to remove foreign objects from the body. They are typically composed of a wire loop attached to a handle, and are used to capture and remove objects such as gallstones, tumors, and other debris. The snare is inserted into the body through a small incision and maneuvered around the object to be removed. The wire loop is then tightened around the object, allowing it to be extracted from the body. Snared devices are used in a variety of medical procedures, including laparoscopic surgery, endoscopy, and arthroscopy. They are also used in the removal of foreign objects from the gastrointestinal tract, such as swallowed coins or buttons. The snared device market is a rapidly growing segment of the surgical device industry. It is driven by the increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, as well as the need for more efficient and effective removal of foreign objects from the body. Some of the major players in the snared device market include Medtronic, Ethicon, Boston Scientific, Stryker, and Smith & Nephew. Show Less Read more
