VAGINAL SLINGS MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Vaginal Slings Market Restraints

One of the major factors restraining growth of the global vaginal slings market is availability of alternative treatments for urinary incontinence over vaginal slings. Alternative treatments include drugs such as anticholinergic, mirabegron, alpha blockers, topical estrogen, and other products such as Transvaginal mesh used by doctors to repair weakened or damaged tissue in the bladder. In 2017, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) had reported adverse effects of single incision slings mesh such as vaginal mesh perforations, mesh erosion, and urinary retention. Such factors are likely to result in complete sling removal or partial sling removal as per severity of their side effects. The NCBI also reported complications resulting from sub-urethral slings, such as bleeding, injury to the urethra or bladder, urethral or bladder mesh erosion, vaginal extrusion of mesh, intestinal perforation, and urinary tract infection (UTI).
