Vena Cava Filters

New and more advanced Retrievable Vena Cava Filters have recently been developed and introduced resulting in renewed growth and change of dynamics in this established market.

The majority of traditional Permanent Vena Cava Filters were placed after failure of anticoagulation to prevent pulmonary embolism (PE). With over 1.2 million PE cases diagnosed in the US & Europe every year and over 300,000 related deaths, medical needs were under-served.

The introduction of Retrievable Vena Cava Filters has expanded the indication space. Now, more than half of the filters are placed prophylactically for the prevention of PE. This is expanding the current market for Vena Cava Filters and pushing growth rates back to double digit levels.
