Catheter-Integrated Drug Delivery System Market

A catheter-integrated drug-delivery system is a medical device in which a slender, intravascular or luminal catheter is combined with drug-delivery functionality such as an integrated reservoir, microfluidic channel, pump, drug-eluting surface or sensor-guided release so that therapeutic agents can be delivered directly and controllably to a target site through the catheter itself rather than systemically. Over the past 10–15 years the market shifted from conventional infusion sets and standalone catheters toward higher-functionality, specialty infusion and microcatheter designs documented in multiple FDA 510(k) clearances (illustrated by infusion/microcatheter filings) as manufacturers added distal tips, one-way expansion mechanisms and compatibility with targeted therapies.
