Biotech solutions to traditional medical device technologies. The thrust of medical technology is, and has been for a long time, to make it as effective [...]
Although a fair amount of consolidation has taken place among ophthalmology technology companies in the last half decade, a number of entrepreneurial firms have surfaced with promising innovations that will keep the specialty vibrant with possibility. The company profiles include reference to the acquisitions taking place at some of the sector’s largest firms as well [...]
More medtech trends Nanotechnology advances. The use of nanotechnology in medicine has faced as many overblown promises as any other application of nanotechnology. However, any realistic view of future medical technologies with big impact would be amiss if it did not consider the myriad applications of "nanotechnology", which we place in quotes to denote that [...]
This is in response to several requests for additional detail on the ophthalmology market (including by one job seeker!). The worldwide ophthalmology market, comprised of many different device, drug and diagnostic segments spanning vision correction and various eye diseases, is a robust market with good growth expected despite the prevailing challenges in the economy. Although [...]
Advances in intraocular lenses have made it possible for phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs) to compete at some level with refractive surgery.  Further advances in materials and implant technologies are making it possible to achieve clear vision at multiple focal points with multifocal and accommodating lenses. Innovations in this segment have created significant opportunities for new [...]

We have just updated our “High Growth Medical Technologies” white paper, as we expect to continually do in the immediate future, since the areas with growth keep changing, and new areas keep appearing. As all white papers should be, it’s free. Here’s the link so you can download it. bookmark to
We analyze medical device markets and, by natural extention, markets encompassing devices or simply competing with them. We identify a specific disease or disorder, characterize its patient population, current and emerging trends in treatment and then characterize the markets for the products used. We may alternatively focus on an organ system (e.g., ophthalmology or a [...]
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 [...]
