in the context of this blog, the systematic approach to perform the research, analysis, interpretation and conclusions embodied in medical technology market analysis
My posts on advanced medical technology, drawing frequently from our market reports, are worth emphasizing for their global perspective. Some two decades ago, it became apparent to me that that the global market perspective is not reserved for big, multi-national companies and their global presence. My understanding of this came about from the experience of [...]
The use of fibrin and other hemostats expanded rapidly in the 1980s in Japan, driven by the strong cultural desire to avoid the need for blood transfusions. In addition, regulatory barriers to launching homologous pooled plasma-derived products in Europe were not as stringent as those imposed by the U.S. FDA in the late 1980s and [...]
It is with a certain measure of distaste that I periodically review some “sources” of information on medical technology markets that are purely aggregates of secondary sources of their own. Without citing the particular market research report publishers (for that would cross a certain line), I can attest to the fact that there are [...]
The objective of research should be conclusions, not data.
That is a fairly obvious point, but in the development and publication of medical technology market research, I see a startling number of information sources purporting to be research that are in fact nothing more than simplistic compilations of data, at best. It has become so common [...]
In a prior post, I highlighted the technologies that are the focus of startups we have identified since early 2008. Within the boundaries of what we focus on in our search for startup companies — device companies and those that are either complementary to or competitive with device companies — there is a pretty [...]

[Insight: One of the more fascinating aspects of medical technology development is the penchant in the industry for finding different ways to accomplish traditional tasks in medical and surgical care. While certainly some technologies can be oversold for their putative clinical benefits --- driving up healthcare costs and giving the industry a bad rap --- [...]
[Publisher's note: The report #S175 described below is the most recent in a highly regarding industry series tracking this huge med/surg market, with its implication for devices, biologics, biomaterials and other products across a wide range of clinical application sectors. The report is pending publication in early December 2008.]

The “advanced medical technologies” blog draws from the research, publications and other content of MedMarket Diligence as well as from my own readings, insights and perspectives. While I am not wont to be stingy, I am not always inclined to give up valuable sources, but in the interest of quid pro quo, perhaps, I’d like [...]
