(Report updated. See 2010 report on Ablation Technologies Worldwide.) The global market for medical devices is $200 billion opportunity and at least 13% of this market involves products that provide the controlled application of energy to tissue. The segment is dominated by high technology products ranging from devices that can heat and cool tissue over [...]
The use of energy-based systems for the routine management of disease and trauma in the orthopedic arena encompasses multiple energy types. The manufacturers PhotoThera, ArthroCare, Bioelectron, Biowave, ConMed, Medical Technologies, Siemens, Smith & Nephew (Oratec), J&J (Mitek), ConMed and Stryker market a variety of energy-based systems for these purposes. These systems offer the following features [...]

Surgical management of soft tissues via "ablation" therapies, in which alternative energy types (radiation, electrosurgcal, ultrasound, etc.) are applied to excise, destroy, or otherwise produce a therapeutic effect at the tissue level has undergone a proliferation in development with all of these alternatives vying for caseload in clinical applications as diverse as tumor ablation, arrhythmia [...]
The world market for energy-based devices was well in excess of $25 billion in 2008. This represents almost 14% of the total medical device market; however, the share varies from country to country, since ablation therapy is high-technology and fairly high-cost; in poorer economies low-cost medical products such as syringes and consumables account for a [...]

Ultrasonic surgical systems deliver vibrational energy to ablate tissue and affect hemostasis. Unlike radiofrequency (RF) and laser systems that achieve coagulation through thermal welding, ultrasonic energy is not reliant upon heat to seal tissue. The popularity of ultrasonic systems is being driven by several inherent advantages. The absence of smoke, which improves the visual field [...]

Energy-based therapies have a variety of applications to CV disease—the number one killer in most of the world. When the heart has to work too hard to maintain adequate blood output, it can begin to change shape, with the left ventricle (the heart’s main pumping chamber) often growing larger, less flexible and weaker. Prolonged compensation [...]
