Technologies for ablation and other energy-based treatments in medical/surgical markets are currently dominated by electrosurgical-type therapies, but a growing array of other modalities are creating new applications or penetrating existing ones. These modalities include hydromechanical, microwave, thermal, cryotherapy, ultrasound, radiofrequency (RF), light, radiation (radiosurgery, radiotherapy) and electrical.
At right is shown the forecast, by modality type, [...]
The medical markets inthe Asia/Pacific region show enormous variations in size, due to differences in healthcare expenditure as well as the obvious differing population sizes. Although China and India have vastly greater populations than other countries in the region, it is the Japanese ablation market that takes the largest share of the global market, [...]
