Stroke Devices: Neurointerventional Solutions Gain Momentum

30 May 2014

At this year’s International Stroke Conference, manufacturers offered a glimpse of new and emerging technologies for both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. These neurointerventional devices are gaining momentum and driving growth in the market for stroke products, a largely un-penetrated market valued at more than $1 billion worldwide.

Despite the challenges in bringing new stroke devices to market, manufacturers continue develop new and improved endovascular devices in hopes of tapping into this largely un-penetrated market, valued at more than $1 billion worldwide. At the International Stroke Conference (ISC) held in San Diego in February, manufacturers and researchers discussed the latest advances in stroke diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, and offered a glimpse of new and emerging technologies for both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.

Stroke remains a serious problem with limited treatment options and high unmet clinical needs. An estimated 15 million people worldwide...
