Ablation and other energy-based technologies with multiple clinical applications

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 [...]

Ablation and other energy-based medical technologies worldwide

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 [...]

Ablation technologies market growing rapidly worldwide, particularly in select modalities

The worldwide high energy therapies market represents a $25 billion opportunity in 2008. The category consists of therapeutic devices and equipment that deliver the controlled application of one or more modalities of energy to tissue. The market will grow at an aggressive rate through 2017 for all modalities, but with some modalities exceeding compound annual [...]

Leaders in markets for ablation and other energy-based technologies

Medtronic is the predominant player in the energy-based therapies market. With global sales of nearly $4.9 billion attributable to energy-based products, it controls over half of the cardiac rhythm market and almost a quarter of all energy-based product sales. Boston Scientific, also focusing on cardiac arrhythmias, comes next in the revenues table with a $2. [...]

High Growth Markets in Ablation Technologies

A cursory review of data in the recent MedMarket Dilgence report #A125 reveals the countries with the highest expected growth rates in markets for ablation technologies. Based on the growth in the ablation modality segments (e.g., radiofrequency, microwave, cryosurgery, thermal, ultrasound, etc.)  that comprise each country’s total ablation market, the countries with the highest ablation [...]

Tissue ablation: microwave, thermal, hydro and cryo on the rise

Technologies for ablation and other energy-based treatments in medical/surgical markets are currently dominated by electrosurgical-type therapies, but a growing array of other modalities are creating new applications or penetrating existing ones.  These modalities include hydromechanical, microwave, thermal, cryotherapy, ultrasound, radiofrequency (RF), light, radiation (radiosurgery, radiotherapy) and electrical. At right is shown the forecast, by modality [...]
