Ureteral Access Sheath Market Insights
The ureteral access sheath market is driven by the rising prevalence of urinary tract diseases, which
contributes to the growing demand for ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedures. As these
procedures become more complex, the utilization of advanced ureteral access devices, particularly
current-generation sheaths, has increased. These devices help reduce complications such as perforation and
significant bleeding, improving patient outcomes and supporting broader adoption in clinical settings.
Market growth is expected to outpace unit volume growth, with inflationary pressures contributing to an increase
in the average selling price of ureteral access devices. While prices are projected to rise at a rate slightly
lower than the overall medical device market, the continued demand for these advanced devices in increasingly
complex procedures will drive steady growth in the market over the forecast period.
