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 Vascular Access Devices
In 2005, the US vascular access market, composed of short peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs), central venous catheters (CVCs), peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), dialysis catheters (DCs), and implantable ports (IPs), was valued at roughly $1 billion, growing at slightly less than 6% over 2004. Throughout the forecast period, revenues will be driven by the aging US population and the introduction and adoption of higher-priced next-generation devices. The aging US population is expected to increase the number of people who are susceptible to chronic illness. Because the treatment of chronically ill patients usually involves venous access therapies, unit sales will grow in tandem. The introduction of higher-priced ...
