MEDICAL DEVICES

From reuse of single-use devices, postmarket surveillance and registration and listing, to compliance, device evaluation and good manufacturing practice, the medical device industry faces a long list of challenges. How can the industry improve Medicare coverage and promote adequate reimbursement? How quickly will new markets unfold? What brand of business infrastructure will strengthen medical device companies?

The future is bright. In 2006, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved devices within the categories of hepatitis, hip prostheses, stents, glucose monitoring, cervical cancer, hemostat, and fetal. More devices will emerge in the years ahead, but only if medical device players can secure the talent to bring about change and penetrate new markets.
