A pacemaker is a small piece of
equipment that is positioned in the abdomen or chest to help control any
abnormal heart rates or rhythms. This tool utilizes electrical pulses to prompt
the heart to beat at regular rates. These devices are used in treating arrhythmias.
A pacemaker can ease some symptoms of arrhythmia, such as fainting and fatigue.
This device can also help a patient, who has abnormal heart rates, to continue
a healthy & more active lifestyle. According to a report published by Grand
View Research Inc., the global pacemaker market is anticipated to reach USD
12.3 billion by 2025.
The Micra Transcatheter Pacing System (TPS):
The world’s smallest pacemaker,
Micra Transcatheter Pacing System (TPS), which is as big as a large capsule of
vitamin, provides the highly developed pacing technology. As per records, the
device has also been implanted successfully for the first time in a patient in
the United States.
Approved by the United States
Food & Drug Administration (FDA), TPS is a novel & innovative type of
heart device that provides the most sophisticated pacing technology at almost
1/10th the size of conventional pacemakers and is also the only leadless
pacemaker device approved for use in the United States.
Other Features of TPS:
Micra transcatheter pacing
system is tiny enough to be carried with the help of a catheter and fixed
straight into the heart, providing a safe substitute to the traditional
pacemakers eliminating the complexities related to leads. The device also lets
us automatically adjust pacing therapy depending on the activity levels of a
patient and another plus point is that its battery can last almost up to 10
years!
Global Pacemaker Market Overview:
The global pacemaker
market is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of over
9.2 %from 2014 to 2025. The growing occurrences of cardiac conditions
along with the availability of clinical coverage are the major growth driving
factors for the global market for pacemakers. In addition to this,
technological advancements in such devices are also boosting the expansion of
this segment. Some of the major players in the global market include MEDICO
S.p.A.; Boston Scientific Corp.; Cordis Inc.; BIOTRONIK Inc.; and ZOLL Medical
Corporation.
