Surgical management of soft tissues via "ablation" therapies, in which alternative energy types (radiation, electrosurgcal, ultrasound, etc.) are applied to excise, destroy, or otherwise produce a therapeutic effect at the tissue level has undergone a proliferation in development with all of these alternatives vying for caseload in clinical applications as diverse as tumor ablation, arrhythmia [...]
Ultrasonic surgical systems deliver vibrational energy to ablate tissue and affect hemostasis. Unlike radiofrequency (RF) and laser systems that achieve coagulation through thermal welding, ultrasonic energy is not reliant upon heat to seal tissue. The popularity of ultrasonic systems is being driven by several inherent advantages. The absence of smoke, which improves the visual field [...]
Specific technologies and broad technology platforms have tremendous potential for market growth based on combinations of recent technology advancement, changes in clinical practice, current forces in the market and other criterial. 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 [...]
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 [...]
[Insight: One of the more fascinating aspects of medical technology development is the penchant in the industry for finding different ways to accomplish traditional tasks in medical and surgical care. While certainly some technologies can be oversold for their putative clinical benefits --- driving up healthcare costs and giving the industry a bad rap --- [...]
The surgical ablation of soft tissues will see significant growth in the next few years and, among them, radiofrequency will demonstrate some of the most significant growth. Â Other modalities include hydromechanical, microwave, thermal, cryotherapy, ultrasound, light, radiation and electrical. Â Growth in these ablation segments in the U.S. is shown in the chart below. Source: Â MedMarket [...]
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 [...]

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. At right is shown the forecast, by modality type, of ablation and other energy-based therapies through 2017. The most significant growth is expected to [...]
The post below has been superceded by the 2010 analysis, "Ablation Technologies Worldwide Market 2009-2019". See link for details.
