Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the implantation of the aortic valve in the heart through the blood vessels unlike in case of valve replacement as done in open heart surgery. Rising valvular diseases and increasing prevalence of aortic stenosis has been the major factor driving the market growth.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition that occurs when extra cholesterol and other fats collect in the walls of the arteries. This extra build-up which is commonly known as plaque narrows a patient artery and reduces the flow of blood. The rising prevalence of PAD has been the major factor driving the market growth.

To get relief from and treatment the of respiratory disease at hospitals, clinics, home, traveling and emergency situations various medical devices have been developed. The respiratory devices are used to provide medication to the lungs and supply the proper amount of ambient air or oxygen to a patient. Most of the devices are used as a non-invasive form of therapy for patients. Respiratory drugs and devices companies are concentrating on developing new products. Companies are expanding their product portfolios and increasing their R&D budget. Major respiratory devices include therapeutic devices such as masks, ventilators, humidifiers, positive airway pressure devices and other devices. Other respiratory devices include diagnostic and monitoring devices and consumables and accessories meters.

The global invasive sensors market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period (2018-2023). A minimally invasive medical procedure is carried out by entering the sensor to the body through skin, cavity or anatomical opening, with the smallest damage possible to the body. There are various types of invasive sensors such as image sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, and biosensor.

Compliance and enforcement actions by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have dramatically declined under the Trump administration, with medical devices seeing the steepest drop, according to a new report.

Sales skills in the medical device sector face numerate challenges, from changing regulatory environments and buying methods to increased complexity of the technology in question. Now, the business consultancy Huthwaite International is trying to find answers.

An experimental device made from layered filter paper is helping Rice University bioengineers study calcifying heart diseases. The filter paper is structured in a way that mimics the layering of aortic heart valves, recreating the means by which cells spread through cardiac tissue in a laboratory setting. It may not look much like a heart valve, but in practice it simulates the proliferation process in the same way.

Liquid biopsy, a minimally invasive cancer diagnostic tool, has gained momentum in the last five years due to its advantages over the archaic painful procedure of solid tumour biopsy.
