"Ablation Technologies Worldwide Market, 2008-2017: Products, Technologies Markets, Companies and Opportunities." Report #A125. Published September 2008.
This report is a detailed market and technology assessment and forecast of the products and technologies in the treatment of soft tissues via energy-based modalities, including electrosurgery, radiosurgery, gamma knife, brachytherapy, cryogenic therapy, fluidjet therapy (hydrotherapy), microwave ablation, radiofrequency ablation, laser, thermal ablation, and ultrasonic ablation. The report describes the energy-based technologies in terms of the nature of their effect on soft tissue, the underlying basis of the technology, the requisite systems for their use (including capital equipment, devices and disposables), and their strengths and weaknesses for specific clinical applications. The report details current and anticipated target applications and assesses the current and forecast caseload for each energy-based therapeutic considering competition from any and all alternative energy-based or other therapeutics for the following clinical areas: General surgery (specific clinical applications: General surgery (specific segments: benign prostatic hypertrophy, cancer tumor ablation, routine ablation in general chest/abdominal surgery), Cardiac (specific segments: atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, tachycardia [ventricular and AV nodal], others), Gynecologic (specific segments: endometrial ablation, uterine fibroid ablation, others), Orthopedic (specific segments: capsular shrinkage, carpal tunnel syndrome, chondroplasty, debridement, epicondylitis & tendinitis, inflammatory conditions, nucleoplasty). The report presents current and worldwide market forecasts (2008-2017) segmented by technology type and specific clinical segment. The report also provides regional segmentation of the caseload; e,g., USA, Japan, Europe, RoW. The report will details the current and emerging products, technologies and markets for each energy-based therapy. The report profiles 61 key companies in this industry detailing their current products, current market position and products under development.
