1 | Market Overview
The global microcatheter market is a critical component of minimally invasive procedures in neurology, cardiology, oncology, and peripheral vascular interventions. Microcatheters are designed for optimal navigation through tortuous vessels, enabling precise access, diagnosis, and treatment delivery in complex anatomical regions. As interventional radiology advances and demand rises for endovascular procedures, microcatheters have become indispensable in both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The convergence of materials science, hydrophilic coatings, and advanced braiding techniques has enhanced steerability, pushability, and torque response, leading to wider clinical adoption.
