Devices used in interventional radiology have significantly developed in the past few years. In order to understand the trends of this development, we analyzed how new interventional devices are progressively incorporating materials having original physical properties, and how developers are today progressively turning towards biomaterials, with respect to the new regulatory environment, and the requirements of biocompatibility.
