Ureteral stents are widely used post-urological procedures and in obstruction management. In the Philippines, their market is growing due to the increasing number of endourological surgeries and better access to modern urology services. Demand for patient-friendly stents with reduced discomfort and infection rates is influencing product innovation.
The market for ureteral stents is expanding as more procedures for kidney stones, strictures, and malignancies are performed. Biodegradable and drug-eluting stents are gradually being introduced in advanced clinical settings, while conventional stents remain widely used.
The ureteral stents market faces affordability issues, especially since patients are often required to cover the full cost out of pocket. Inadequate post-operative follow-up results in forgotten stents, which can lead to complications. Public hospitals face procurement delays and stock shortages, disrupting continuity of care.
The rise in urological interventions has created consistent demand for ureteral stents. Investors can benefit from supplying biocompatible and long-dwell stents to urologists and hospitals. Opportunities also exist in the distribution of stent removal kits and in developing partnerships with urology device distributors and catheterization labs.
Ureteral stents are classified as Class C medical devices and regulated under the FDAs Medical Device Regulation. Registration requires sterility, material safety data, and clinical validation. Ureteral stents used in government health facilities are procured through competitive bidding via PhilGEPS, and must be listed in the Philippine National Drug and Device Formulary. Usage is governed by surgical standards issued by DOH-accredited institutions. Stents are often used post-endoscopic interventions and partially covered by PhilHealth packages, especially when used in procedures for kidney stones or tumors.
