SAGE Sourcebook of Modern Biomedical Devices: Business Markets in the Global Environment is the first accessible, broadly available source of information that presents and quantifies the commercial success of numerous types of biomedical devices available in the global market. It is of great importance, for both the research and the business communities, to identify specific biomedical device types, per major therapeutic areas, most commercially successful in today’s global economic markets, such as in the biggest market (U.S.), in the Pacific Rim, and in the newly expanded European Union. Currently, such vital information is not available anywhere else, definitely not in a unified source and not in a detailed, well-substantiated, reliable, and easy-to-read form.
US Markets for Image Guided Surgery
US Markets for Image Guided Surgery
Market Overview
In 2005, the US image guided surgery (IGS) market—consisting of image-based and kinematic navigation systems used for neurology, ear, nose, and throat (ENT), spine, hip, knee, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) procedures—was valued at over $115 million. The market will continue to experience strong growth because IGS improves patient outcomes, mitigates the risk of malpractice litigation, and facilitates minimally invasive surgery (MIS), particularly in orthopedics. In neurosurgery, for which IGS is the standard of care, IGS offers clinical benefits including smoother navigation of complex structures, increased clinical accuracy, three-dimensional (3-D) visualization, reduction in preoperative surgical planning, facilitation of less invasive techniques, and reduction in radiation exposure ...
