The objective of this research service is to evaluate the U.S. direct-energy based medical devices. Areas covered are: aesthetics, cardiovascular, gynecology, orthopedics and urology. Advances in surgical techniques have allowed minimally invasive surgery to become a technique of choice for many surgeons and patients. Energy based devices allow precise application of energy to a surgical site, thus, allowing better control of surgery. This research service identifies major market drivers and restraints, and market and technology trends for existing and emerging participants. It also provides revenue forecasts, procedure forecasts and competitive analysis from 2006 to 2016, with 2009 as the base year.
