Global Arthroscopy Devices Market 2014-2018 with Arthrex Inc., CONMED Corp., Johnson & Johnson and Smith & Nephew Dominating
M2 - Tue Apr 22, 3:36AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dbklsb/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Arthroscopy Devices Market 2014-2018 with Arthrex Inc., CONMED Corp., Johnson & Johnson and Smith & Nephew Dominating" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in this market is the increasing aging population. The increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and joint injuries in the rising aged population has increased the demand for arthroscopy devices for the early diagnosis of joint disorders. There has been an increase in the small-joint and hip arthroscopy procedure volumes over the past decade. There has been an increasing number of trained physicians that perform hip arthroscopy for the diagnosis and treatment of hip pain as well as the removal of loose bodies in the hip joint. The reduction in the dimensions of arthroscopic devices and the improvement in understanding the internal anatomy of small joints have led to arthroscopically evaluating and treating various disorders. Certain companies such as ArthroCare, ConMed, Smith & Nephew, and Stryker have developed specialized devices for hip arthroscopy that include extended-length arthroscopes, radio frequency probes, and power shaver blades. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the lack of reimbursement benefits by insurance companies for arthroscopic procedures. This has resulted in limiting the number of procedures performed as not many people can afford them. Key vendors dominating this space include: - Arthrex Inc. - CONMED Corp - Johnson & Johnson - Smith & Nephew plc Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - ArthroCare Corp - Biomet Inc - KARL STORZ GmbH & Co. KG - Olympus Corp. - StryKer Corp. - Richard Wolf Medical Instruments Corp.

The major opportunity lies within technological advancement and the clinical trials to prove effectiveness of new techniques. The health insurance system in Brazil is largely government-run, with around 80% of the population covered by the public system. Under this mechanism, we can expect cost barriers with poor reimbursement rates. The key factor in the Brazilian healthcare market is its relative instability compared with a country like the US, and the fact that reimbursement is highly subject to change. The public sector though remains the big market due to military purchasing for high quality use which would be the major target for multinational firms.

Global Arthroscopy Devices Market 2014-2018 with Arthrex Inc., CONMED Corp., Johnson & Johnson and Smith & Nephew Dominating
M2 - Tue Apr 22, 3:36AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dbklsb/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Arthroscopy Devices Market 2014-2018 with Arthrex Inc., CONMED Corp., Johnson & Johnson and Smith & Nephew Dominating" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in this market is the increasing aging population. The increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and joint injuries in the rising aged population has increased the demand for arthroscopy devices for the early diagnosis of joint disorders. There has been an increase in the small-joint and hip arthroscopy procedure volumes over the past decade. There has been an increasing number of trained physicians that perform hip arthroscopy for the diagnosis and treatment of hip pain as well as the removal of loose bodies in the hip joint. The reduction in the dimensions of arthroscopic devices and the improvement in understanding the internal anatomy of small joints have led to arthroscopically evaluating and treating various disorders. Certain companies such as ArthroCare, ConMed, Smith & Nephew, and Stryker have developed specialized devices for hip arthroscopy that include extended-length arthroscopes, radio frequency probes, and power shaver blades. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the lack of reimbursement benefits by insurance companies for arthroscopic procedures. This has resulted in limiting the number of procedures performed as not many people can afford them. Key vendors dominating this space include: - Arthrex Inc. - CONMED Corp - Johnson & Johnson - Smith & Nephew plc Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - ArthroCare Corp - Biomet Inc - KARL STORZ GmbH & Co. KG - Olympus Corp. - StryKer Corp. - Richard Wolf Medical Instruments Corp.
