Future opportunities and challenges for medical plastic tubing

So far, the growth of the global medical catheter market is mainly driven by the increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, the

increase in cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and urinary diseases, and the development of catheter diagnosis and treatment technology. Although domestic enterprises continue to change catheter technology, it is not difficult to see from the exhibitors of the 2022 medical device exhibition that the technology of foreign exhibitors is better in highend medical devices and research and development technology, and the reasons are mainly two aspects: On the one hand, China's medical catheter industry started late, the relevant technical fields and basic level are limited, and domestic highend products still rely heavily on imports. On the other hand, China's medical catheter products have low added value, and most of them are lowvalue consumable tubes, such as oxygen tubes, sputum tubes, stomach intubation tubes, etc.

Fortunately, many enterprises and research and development institutions in China have begun to study more efficient precision medical catheter production methods, the emergence of a number of excellent enterprises, such as Shanghai Yike, Ningbo micro rabbit polymer and other enterprises, in the long run, under the promotion of interventionic surgery, precision medical catheter in China will get a broader market and more rapid technological development.
