Ureteral Stents Market is estimated to be valued at USD 620.5 Mn in 2026 and is expected to reach USD 920.8 Mn in 2033, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% from 2026 to 2033. A ureteral stent is a thin tube that's placed in ureter to help drain urine from kidney and to aid with healing and urine drainage after kidney stone surgery or kidney related surgeries. The ureters are held open with ureteral stents, which are thin, flexible tubes. These long, thin tubes usually transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Ureteral stents are medical devices that are used to prevent or treat ureteral blockages. There are various types of ureteral stents, which include double pigtail suture stent (PSS) that has a hydrophobic coating to reduce encrustation and biofilm, and Multiloop ureteral stent, which is intended to temporarily facilitate drainage of urine from kidney to bladder.
