The Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (SMISS) has established a prospective registry to track the impact of minimally invasive spine surgery on patient outcomes.  According to Globus Medical, Inc., a private manufacturer of spine implants that has agreed to fund the registry, which will be a registry for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and degenerative scoliosis:

The Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (SMISS) has established a prospective registry to track the impact of minimally invasive spine surgery on patient outcomes.  According to Globus Medical, Inc., a private manufacturer of spine implants that has agreed to fund the registry, which will be a registry for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and degenerative scoliosis:

The registry will capture prospective clinical data from 10 to 15 clinical sites throughout the country, up to 250 patients, utilizing an electronic data capture program which will allow for “patient portals” to facilitate data collection from anywhere an internet connection is available. Patients will be followed for a minimum of 24 months looking at Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) outcomes, the rate and incidence of peri-operative and post-operative adverse events, radiographic correction and fusion rates as well as cost of treatment with the MIS approach.

Spine surgery technologies currently represent a $13 billion global market that will grow to $23 billion by 2020.  Despite price pressure in medical technologies, growth will continue due to innovations that enable mobility and reduce pain in a rapidly growing demographic of older patients.  (See MedMarket Diligence Report #M520.)

I serve the interests of medical technology company decision-makers, venture-capitalists, and others with interests in medtech producing worldwide analyses of medical technology markets for my audience of mostly medical technology companies (but also rapidly growing audience of biotech, VC, and other healthcare decision-makers). I have a small staff and go to my industry insiders (or find new ones as needed) to produce detailed, reality-grounded analyses of current and potential markets and opportunities. I am principally interested in those core clinical applications served by medical devices, which are expanding to include biomaterials, drug-device hybrids and other non-device technologies either competing head-on with devices or being integrated with devices in product development. The effort and pain of making every analysis global in scope is rewarded by my audience's loyalty, since in the vast majority of cases they too have global scope in their businesses.Specialties: Business analysis through syndicated reports, and select custom engagements, on medical technology applications and markets in general/abdominal/thoracic surgery, interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, patient monitoring/management, wound management, cell therapy, tissue engineering, gene therapy, nanotechnology, and others.
