In a forthcoming report on advanced technologies associated with the acute phase of wound management — specifically, hemostasis, closure and sealing — MedMarket Diligence will be revealing the state of the art and the industry for fibrin and other surgical sealants; cyanoacrylate and other synthetic and naturally-occurring high strength glues; a wide range of products providing hemostasis; products that prevent the formation of post-surgical adhesions; and the increasingly varied types of physical wound closure, including sutures, staples, clips, tapes, and other mechanical wound closure types.

Our analysis in 2012 illustrated the scope and depth to which these advanced wound closure products had penetrated the realm of many areas of clinical practice that, up to a scan decade ago, had been dominated for a millennia by simple physical methods to manage acute wounds — sutures and tapes. Below is an illustration of the size and growth in e sales of these products, showing that the advanced products are being adopted at accelerated rates, yet a sizable volume of wound closure remains in the hands of very traditional closure (sutures/staples).

Of course, the field of sutures and staples is not exactly stagnant, devoid of innovation. Sutures, staples and clips innovation have been driven by the commensurate innovation in surgical technique. Traditional surgery via laparotomy has long since been revolutionized by laparoscopy, and endoscopic procedures in general have become the standard for minimizing surgical trauma and faster recovery. The endoscopic format has demanded new suturing and stapling technologies, and industry stalwarts like Ethicon, Covidien and others have been happy to provide the solutions.  And even more recently, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) procedures are pushing the minimally invasive principle to a greater extreme.

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.
