The companies involved in the marketing and development of surgical sealants, glues, and other wound closure and anti-adhesion products are a robust group. The number of competitors and the breadth and depth of their offerings are testimony to the size of the active market as well as its considerable potential. Below is the list of [...]
[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 --- [...]
(Excerpt from Report #G125, Products, Technologies, Markets and Opportunities in Ophthalmology Surgical, Device and Drug Markets Worldwide, 2007.)
Although there is a broad spectrum of medical technology innovations taking place in the ophthalmology sector, pharmaceuticals will continue to be a critical component of both elective and emergency ocular interventions. As a result, the dominant players in the [...]

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, [...]
