Diverse technologies have a surprising number of common threads, whether in the technologies themselves or in the clinical applications. For this reason, manufacturers need to consider that: 1. A technology platform can be the launchpad for products in clinically diverse areas. Case in point, cell therapy, which as a fundamental scientific discipline can have uses [...]

The healthcare industry faces a less daunting period of recession compared to many industries (we’ve covered it here and here), but still faces different and tough dynamics during this period. Although demand for healthcare is more inelastic than other products and services, new business in healthcare (development and innovation) requires financing, a particularly scarce commodity [...]
In the last few years, there has been a significant consolidation in the sealants, glues, wound closure and anti-adhesion industry (the "securement industry") as venture-based companies have been acquired and assimilated into larger market-based corporations with critical mass in their sales effort. This represents a welcome development for investors in leading-edge technologies, which are now [...]
For completing our most recent worldwide analysis of the market for sealants, glues, and related products, we assessed their current and potential uses globally. We found the strongest uptake of fibrin sealants in Asia; also in Europe, particularly in Italy where GEM has established a 12-item application list for its high-strength glue product. Approximately 12 [...]
If one is in the position of needing to look to the future of medical technology (and who in this industry is not?)—to identify opportunities or predict challenges in the market—then it is hard to not factor into it two very different current trends and play them out toward the resulting future market impact. One [...]
