Nephrology Catheters
With about 30% market share, nephrology catheters are a cornerstone in managing kidney-related conditions, serving both diagnostic and drainage purposes. Their growing use in minimally invasive procedures is fueled by the rising global prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Balloon Catheters
Representing roughly 20% of the market, balloon catheters are highly effective in dilating narrowed urinary passages. Their precision and ability to minimize procedural trauma make them a preferred tool in urological and nephrological interventions.

Malécot Catheters
Holding close to 15% of the market, Malécot catheters are widely used in complex nephrostomy cases. Their multi-wing tip design ensures stability, enhances drainage efficiency and improves patient comfort.

J Tip Catheters
Capturing around 12% of the market, J Tip catheters feature a flexible curved tip that improves navigation through complex urinary tracts. They are particularly favored in cases requiring reduced tissue injury risk.

Pigtail Catheters
Accounting for nearly 10% of the market, pigtail catheters are designed with a curled tip to prevent dislodgment and ensure secure placement during drainage procedures.

Nephrology Stents
With a 13% share, nephrology stents are essential for maintaining urinary flow in obstructive conditions. Increasing incidences of kidney stones and post-surgical complications are driving demand for these devices.

Silicone
With nearly 35% market share, silicone remains a leading material in nephrology stents and catheters due to its excellent biocompatibility and flexibility. Its strong resistance to encrustation makes it an ideal choice for long-term urinary drainage in patients with chronic kidney-related conditions.

Polyurethane
Capturing around 30% of the market, polyurethane is widely adopted for its high tensile strength, kink resistance and ability to ensure smooth urinary flow. Its combination of durability and patient comfort makes it suitable for both short- and medium-term catheterization needs.

Metal
Holding about 20% of the market, metal-based devices provide unmatched structural integrity and prolonged functionality. They are often preferred in complex urological cases where additional strength is required to maintain urinary tract patency.

Biodegradable Polymers
With an approximate 15% market share, biodegradable polymers are gaining attention for their ability to naturally degrade within the body. This innovation eliminates the need for catheter removal procedures, minimizing risks and improving overall patient outcomes.
