Ablation technologies are a growth medtech field driven as much by physicians pursuing larger caseload as manufacturers developing innovative technologies, according to a new global report from MedMarket Diligence. (PressMethod) – Surgical procedures focus on a wide range of clinical endpoints — the creation of a lesion to block aberrant cardiac rhythms, the destruction of [...]
PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 09, 2010 – The practice of surgery has long employed energy-based technologies to excise, cut, ablate, cauterize, destroy or otherwise manipulate tissue to produce therapeutic results. Various energy modalities — from cryotherapy to microwave to radiofrequency to ultrasound to radiation and others — have proven their ability to effect healthy or diseased tissue [...]
Western markets, including the U.S. and Europe, tend to drive the formation of new medical technology markets, which then evolve and migrate to Asia/Pacific and the rest of the world. While this is not always the case (a notable exception is the technology and market development of fibrin and other blood-based tissue sealants technologies, which [...]
Worldwide sales of cell therapy and tissue engineering products eclipsed $6.9 billion in 2009 on pace to reach $32 billion by 2018. This figure includes bioengineered products that are themselves cells or are actively stimulating cell growth or regeneration, products that often represent a combination of biotechnology, medical device and pharmaceutical technologies. The largest segment [...]
The global market for tissue engineering and cell therapy products is set to more than quadruple from 2009 to 2018. Products in cell therapy and tissue engineering include includes bioengineered products that are themselves cells or are actively stimulating cell growth or regeneration, products that often represent a combination of biotechnology, medical device and pharmaceutical [...]
The market for coronary stents in Asia and the Pacific region contains principally China (early technology adopters) and Japan (with a longer regulatory approval cycle), which generate roughly 200,000 in stent sales annually. The area is, in the aggregate, the second biggest market for coronary stent sales globally. While China commands much attention due to [...]
(The global market for coronary stents worldwide is assessed in the MedMarket Diligence report #C245, "Worldwide Market for Drug-Eluting, Bare Metal and Other Coronary Stents, 2008-2017.") The market for coronary stents in Asia and the Pacific region contains both China (early technology adopters) and Japan (with a longer regulatory approval cycle), which generated a combined [...]
Market drivers that vary geographically account for some big differences in the distribution of the coronary stent market across the currently available stent types, and these differences will continue when bioabsorbable stents (and others) are introduced to the market over the next few years. The local market forces dictating these differences include: Regulatory timelines in [...]
