Shifting Caseload and Markets in Tissue Ablation

Technologies to therapeutically ablate tissue (via destruction and/or removal of abnormal tissue or creation of a therapeutic lesion as in blocking errant electrical pathways in arrhythmia) represent a remarkably diverse set of tools despite their fundamentally common capability of tissue ablation.

Technologies to therapeutically ablate tissue (via destruction and/or removal of abnormal tissue or creation of a therapeutic lesion as in blocking errant electrical pathways in arrhythmia) represent a remarkably diverse set of tools despite their fundamentally common capability of tissue ablation.

Spanning electrical, radiation, light/laser, radiofrequency, ultrasound, cryotherapy, thermal therapy, microwave and hydromechanical and embodied in a wide range of medical devices and equipment, all ablation types simply destroy tissue.  The differences lie in respect to the specificity of each modality in targeting disease tissue and in respect to their capacity to be integrated in different types of instruments that may match the demands of specific clinical practices.

The recent history of ablation technology market developments reveals that, despite the specialization of modalities to specific tissues, or the efforts by manufacturers to carve out clinician or disease-state niches for specific modalities, growth in different ablation procedure types and clinical practice patterns has changed steadily but not always predictably.  Recent clinical results, new ablation device innovations and other developments have had the propensity to drive shifts in patient caseload between alternative ablation types.  Given the development and manufacturing costs, have largely and unsurprisingly maintained focus in typically one modality type, seeking to provide innovations in devices and equipment that accentuate benefits for there specific modality in specific clinical applications.

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.
