Products Pipeline in Medical Equipment Market

1. Products Pipeline in Medical Equipment Market - Robust Pipeline Strengthening the In-Vitro Diagnostics and Cardiovascular Devices Market

2. Cardiovascular and Orthopedic Devices Markets Have the Highest Number of Pipeline Products in 2010 In 2010, the cardiovascular devices market with 975 products was the market with the highest number of pipeline products. It was followed by the orthopedic devices market with 657 pipeline products. The robust pipeline in the cardiovascular and orthopedic devices markets reflects the enhanced interest of various companies in these two markets. One can expect major activity to be centered around the cardiovascular and orthopedic markets thereby enabling products with new technology to enter these markets. In the cardiovascular devices market, interventional cardiology has the highest number of pipeline products with about 326 products, followed by peripheral vascular devices with 191 products. More than 2,000 Products are in the Clinical Stage of Development in the Medical Devices Industry in 2010 There are about 2,000 products that are in the clinical stage of development in the medical devices industry and about 1,100 products in the pre-clinical stage of development. With a high number of products in the advanced stage of development, it can be expected that there would be many new products that would be approved and launched in the next few years. The cardiovascular and orthopedic devices market form the largest markets in which there are a high

3. number of pipeline products in their clinical stage of development and new launches can be expected in these two markets subject to approval in the next two years.

Interventional cardiology has about 326 products in the pipeline that include products belonging to various segments such as coronary stents, Percutaneous Transluminous Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) balloons, coronary guiewires, arteriotomy closure devices, coronary catheters and Intravascular Ultrasound Systems (IVUS). Spinal surgery is the category with the next highest number of pipeline products. As of 2010, about 277 products were in the pipeline in the

4. spinal surgery devices category that include devices on spinal fusion and,, non fusion technologies. This shows an increased interest in Research and Development (R&D) among start ups, as well as established companies in the field of spinal surgery, leading to innovative and greater number of newer products in spinal surgery. The increased prevalence of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in the cardiovascular disease area and increase in Degenerative Disc Disorders (DDD) and other spinal complications in the orthopedic disease area have made companies realize the potential market scope of the applications of interventional cardiology and spinal surgery. Companies are now focusing on improving their product portfolio with research oriented towards technologies in these fields.
