Neurological catheters, also known as microcatheters, are small devices that can navigate the intricate intracranial vasculature of the brain. These catheters--some on the market, others in development--are used for a variety of applications, including aneurysm occlusion, chronic pain relief, targeted drug delivery, tumor embolization, treating vascular malformations, brachytherapy, and vasospasm therapy. They also promise to be extremely useful in the delivery of therapeutic genes or stem cells to patients who may have a variety of neurological diseases. This report analyzes...Published: February 1, 2005 | Price: $995.00 – $1,990.00
Computer-based technologies offer significant potential for improving the clinical outcomes of patients. Computer software and hardware, as well as the systems they control, have begun to impact the manner in which surgeons design, plan, simulate and perform surgery. In the last few years, automated and computer-assisted techniques have found increased use in surgical procedures as tools for performing difficult neurosurgery, cranio-facial surgery and some orthopedic procedures. These techniques give the surgeon more advanced capabilities than were available previously, such as...Published: June 1, 2005 | Price: $995.00 – $1,990.00
With the promise of improved outcomes and shorter recovery times and costs, endoscopic surgery has evolved into an accepted surgical discipline in most therapeutic areas. However, spine surgeons in particular have been slow to embrace this new technology over the past decade or so. Challenges specific to the spinal column have made the adoption of minimally invasive surgery difficult, but endoscope manufacturers have begun to take advantage of technological advances in endoscopic visualization and other arrears to optimize the minimal-access...Published: June 1, 2005 | Price: $3,500.00 – $7,000.00
The U.S. market for home care products and equipment continues to post steady gains, primarily as a result of the aging population and increasing shifts of chronic care patients from hospitals to home. In 2004, an estimated 16 million people received home health care in the United States, and most of these individuals also used associated home care products. Through 2009, the numbers of home care patients will continue to grow as patient lifespans are extended with more sophisticated medical...Published: July 1, 2005 | Price: $2,995.00 – $5,990.00
The aging of the population and continued advances in biotechnology drive the skin ulcer portion of the wound care industry, estimated at $3.3 billion globally. A lack of effective treatment options has heretofore added to the increased costs of skin ulcer treatment and has contributed to the growing frustration in the industry. New product manufacturers can capitalize on these concerns by offering products designed to improve healing rates and prevent wound formation within a cost-conscious framework. Besides the always-improving synthetic...Published: August 1, 2005 | Price: $2,995.00 – $5,990.00
Approximately 27 million burn cases requiring professional treatment occur worldwide each year, and of these 7 million will require hospitalization and more than a million will die as a direct result of their burns. Burn injuries are a particularly difficult and painful area of medicine requiring multi-pronged approach to address infection, pain, and a host of long-term complications. Continued advances in biotechnology have driven the burn portion of the wound care industry, estimated at over $1.5 billion globally. New wound...Published: September 1, 2005 | Price: $2,995.00 – $5,990.00
Surgical and trauma wounds are, by far, the most common types of wounds addressed in the wound care area, but it is by no means the easiest to compete in. There are millions of surgical procedures performed annually worldwide; in the United States alone, there are over 100,000 surgeries performed daily. Enjoying market success depends on developing a formidable strategy that involves matching internal capabilities with external opportunities. Providers who compete well in this area must offer products that achieve...Published: September 1, 2005 | Price: $3,500.00 – $7,000.00
This report considers the markets for therapeutic cardiovascular devices, such as prosthetic valves, pacemakers, stents, support devices, ICDs, VADs, and TAHs, in the United States as broken down into four major segments: cardiomyopathy/congestive heart failure arrhythmias arteriosclerosis (coronary artery disease), and valvular heart disease While there are other cardiovascular conditions that remain significant in the American population, e.g., stroke and myocardial infarction, these four conditions present the core conditions that lead to more serious cardiovascular accidents and death and present...Published: September 1, 2005 | Price: $995.00 – $7,000.00
In the industrial world, over 240 million people lack one or more teeth. It is estimated that 40% of the western population is missing one tooth or more. In the United States, approximately 10% is the population is totally edentulous, and every year about two million Americans loose a tooth due to sporting accidents. Although the success of modern dentistry in the United States has vastly decreased the edentulous rate in each succeeding generation, it is estimated there are about...Published: November 1, 2005 | Price: $3,500.00 – $7,000.00
Respiratory diseases are among the most common ailments across the world. Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are the major causes of mortality rates among children and elderly. Currently, about 300 million people suffer from asthma—the number only expected to rise over next few years—and about 14.2 million people suffer from COPD. Given these numbers, it’s no wonder that the market for respiratory products is buoyant. This report analyzes the worldwide market for respiratory disposables and reusables, including the...Published: November 15, 2005 | Price: $2,500.00 – $7,000.00
