Ablation technologies of different types have in common their ability to produce a therapeutic effect on human tissue. Beyond this common ground, however, there are stark differences in the modalities. Consequently, ablation technologies have variable penetration of clinical applications, with use of specific modalities for specific clinical applications driven by factors such as the tissue [...]
Ablation Technologies Worldwide Market, 2008-2017: Products, Technologies, Markets, Companies and Opportunities · 264 pages · 70 Exhibits · 61 Company Profiles · September 2008 · Report #A125 This report is a detailed market and technology assessment and forecast of the products and technologies in the ablation market for treatment of soft tissues via energy-based modalities, [...]
Following up on my post yesterday regarding ablation treatments for prostate cancer, one of the ablation modalities noted was HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound. Unlike lasers, RF, microwave or cryotherapy, ultrasound offers superior control of energy output. 3D control and directionality of the energy delivered provides the ability to treat a prescribed target volume and shape [...]
Manufacturers of ablation and other energy-base therapeutics are both witnessing and driving a steady evolution of multiple technologies with potential to produce therapeutic (or, in some cases, simply cosmetic) tissue effects, with different energy types competing head-on for caseload. These innovators have continued to improve their understanding of the nature of each energy type’s impact [...]
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 [...]
Energy-based therapeutics include technologies to effect the destruction or treatment of tissues to remove pathology or otherwise modify tissue (e.g., for creating lesions that block the aberrant signals in arrhythmia). These technologies include radiofrequency, microwave, laser/light, microwave, cryo, hydromechanical, ultrasound and thermal. Some sectors of the energy-based market are growing steadily, others more rapidly. RF [...]
The major national markets in Western Europe for ablation technologies account for almost 12% of the global ablation market. Their share of the total medical device market is around 30%. Healthcare spending per capita is broadly similar across all the countries for which an example forecast (France) is provided below, ranging from approximately one-quarter to [...]
The energy-based medical device industry is led by a diverse group of companies, including small-to-medium pure-play companies specializing in ablation therapies and large multinationals whose interests encompass other classes of medical devices as well as ablation products. Key companies include Medtronic, St. Jude Medical, Varian Medical Systems, Boston Scientific (including Guidant), and Getinge. In terms [...]

(From “Ablation Technologies Worldwide Market, 2008-2017: Products, Technologies Markets, Companies and Opportunities.” Published 2008 by MedMarket Diligence, LLC. See link.) Several types of 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 [...]
