The recent formation of an index focused on health product innovators illustrates both the upside and the stability of the medtech arena.
The index includes companies which get approvals for drugs or biological agents classified as new chemical entities (i.e. excluding all new formulations of existing drugs, generic drugs, and label extensions for existing products). Also, companies which [...]
If one is in the position of needing to look to the future of medical technology to identify opportunities or predict challenges in the market (and who in this industry is not?), then it is hard to not factor into the analysis two very different current trends and play them out toward the resulting future market impact. [...]
Yesterday, we commented on top 10 medical innovations reported at the Cleveland Clinic Innovation Summit.
At the summit, Boston Scientific CEO Jim Tobin’s presentation underscored the other point we made recently, that acquisition is a routine part of medtech’s drive for innovation. Boston Scientific has some $2 billion on hand and is looking for companies whose [...]
If you simply compare the average development times of pharmaceuticals, biotech and medical devices, you will see that medical devices demonstrate the shortest time from conception to market (or rejection). Devices, by virtue of providing, in many cases, a simple mechanical function — flatten atherosclerotic plaque against the lumen (angioplasty), keep it there (stents), close [...]

From the December 2007 edition of MedMarkets
Never before, or so it seems, have there been so many widely different dynamics in medical technology markets that determine whether a company will be successful, or if successful, to what degree. Science, its application in technology, and its commercialization in healthcare has traditionally been driven by a narrow [...]
(From the September 2007 issue of MedMarkets)
Drawing upon the clinical and technology sectors we have addressed in MedMarkets and the Market and Technology Reports of MedMarket Diligence, we have previously identified a number of areas where we see substantial growth in medical technology markets. In our white paper, High Growth Medical Technologies, we note those [...]
It has already been said that medical technology is getting complicated. Now it’s time to point out that the world is getting strikingly small(er).
Even the youngest startup has to consider market opportunity on a global scale. So a little medtech startup with not much more than a patent (and sometimes not even that) and with [...]
