Medtronic and St. Jude Medical Dominate the European Pain Management Device Market
PR Newswire - 1 hr 13 mins ago
Decision Resources Group finds that the European pain management device market generates a majority of revenue from select products, such as spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and radiofrequency (RF) ablation devices. This results in key players like Medtronic and St. Jude Medical capturing significant share. Increasing recognition of the value of pain management devices over pharmaceuticals will, however, drive moderate market growth, leading to increased competition as manufacturers shift focus to the device market.

Global Orthopedic Implant Physician Preference Survey 2015 - Executive Summary
M2 - 2 hrs 58 mins ago
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wkgmtc/global_orthopedic) has announced the addition of the "Global Orthopedic Implant Physician Preference Survey 2015 (Executive Summary)" report to their offering. This survey asked physicians to choose the company or companies that provide knee repair products with which they are most satisfied. More than one-third of respondents who do knee repair surgeries included DePuy Synthes as one of their preferred companies. This was followed closely by other competitors such as MAKO Surgical, Smith & Nephew, Stryker and Zimmer. The survey also asked physicians to suggest what factor or factors would most likely trigger them to switch over to using a different knee repair product from that which they were currently most comfortable. While many surgeons suggested multiple factors, one that appeared most frequently was if another product was able to demonstrate better clinical efficacy in comparison to the current product in use. This trend was present from respondents across all geographical regions and clinical settings. Despite subtle differences in physician product preference across the various regions, the survey results suggest that DePuy Synthes is the most highly preferred supplier of knee repair products globally. Key Topics Covered: - Survey Background - Survey Respondent Profile - Knee Repair Products - Foot Digit Repair Products - Hip Repair Products - Hand Digit Repair Products - Spinal Surgery Products - Custom Implants Companies Mentioned - Aesculap - Alphatec Spine - Arthrex - BioPro - Biomet - DJO Surgical - DePuy Synthes - Exactech - Globus Medical - Integra LifeSciences - K2M - MAKO Surgical - Medtronic - NuVasive - Small Bone Innovations (SBi) - Smith & Nephew - Stryker - Wright Medical - Zimmer For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wk...orthopedic

This executive summary relates to the report 'Latin American Markets for Minimally Invasive Spinal Implants'. The Latin American minimally invasive surgery spinal implant market is expected to reach $60.7 million by 2019, driven by growth in lateral fusion procedures and increasing access to health care services in the region. The Latin American minimally invasive surgery spinal implant market includes minimally invasive interbody fusion and minimally invasive pedicle screws. Growth is expected in both segments as a result of the physiological and surgical advantages of MIS procedures. MIS interbody fusion was the most rapidly growing segment in 2012, followed by MIS pedicle screws. This report pertains to a forecast period of 10 years (2009 - 2019) for Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.

U.S. Market for Peripheral Vascular Devices and Accessories Executive Summary: By 2020, the U.S. market for peripheral vascular devices will be worth over $6 billion
M2 - Tue Nov 11, 6:43AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3rwwd3/u_s_market_for) has announced the addition of the "U.S. Market for Peripheral Vascular Devices and Accessories (Executive Summary)" report to their offering. The peripheral vascular device market includes stents, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheters, atherectomy devices, chronic total occlusion devices, stent grafts, surgical grafts, arteriovenous (AV) access thrombectomy devices, inferior vena cava filters, catheters, guidewires, introducer sheaths, vascular closure devices and transcatheter embolization devices. These devices can be used for treating either coronary arterial or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), but only those devices used for peripheral procedures are included in this report. Older individuals and those who are obese have a higher risk of developing PAD. As result of a general increase in peripheral procedures and the development of new lower-limb treatments, the market for products such as stents and stent grafts will grow rapidly in the U.S. over the forecast period. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains a significantly under treated condition in the U.S and PAD is the leading cause of leg amputation. These factors will continue to drive growth in the peripheral vascular device market. In particular, the peripheral stent market is projected to grow over the forecast period. However, intense competition has led to price erosion and market penetration has moderated this once high growth segment. The launch of new technologies, including drug-eluting stents, will generate marginal revenues and only one company has sought FDA approval. In contrast, significant investments and acquisitions have taken place in the efforts of bringing the first drug-eluting balloon to the market, with Medtronic and C. R. Bard in a tight race to gain approval. Scope - Competitor Analysis - Identified Strategic Opportunities - Market Overview by Segment - Trend Analysis by Segment - Market Drivers & Limiters - Mergers & Acquisitions - Customer Feedback and Market Monitoring Main Segments Included: - Peripheral Vascular Stent Market - PTA Balloon Catheter Market - Atherectomy Device Market - Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Device Market - Embolic Protection Device Market - Stent Graft Market - Surgical Graft Market - AV Access Thrombectomy Device Market - Inferior Vena Cava Filter Market - Diagnostic and Interventional Catheter Market - Diagnostic and Interventional Guidewire Market - Introducer Sheath Market - Vascular Closure Device Market - Transcatheter Embolization Device Market Companies Mentioned - ALN International Inc. - Abbott Laboratories - AccessClosure - AngioDynamics - AngioScore - Angiotech - Argon Medical - Arstasis - Artegraft - Asahi Intecc USA - Atrax - Atrium Medical - B.
