Adoption of New Technologies Will Rapidly Drive US Gynecology Market

Gynecologists are quickly adopting minimally invasive procedures, according to a new report from Millennium Research Group.

Waltham, Massachusetts (PRWeb) November 20, 2006 -- Millennium Research Group (MRG), the global authority on medical technology market intelligence, has completed a thorough analysis of the US gynecological device market and found that physician and patient demand for minimally invasive gynecological devices will increase significantly over the next 5 years. Newer technologies, such as global endometrial ablation (GEA), transcervical sterilization, and uterine artery embolization (UAE) devices, appeal to physicians because of their minimally invasive nature and ease-of-use. According to the new report entitled US Markets for Gynecological Devices 2007, the total market will grow rapidly, reaching over $700 million by 2011.

GEA will experience strong growth over the forecast period as clinical benefits such as ease-of-use and speed continue to drive gynecologists' rapid acceptance of this minimally invasive procedure. The high in-office reimbursement rates available for GEA procedures will also facilitate their gradual transition from hospitals into physician offices. In addition to GEA devices, transcervical sterilization devices and UAE devices will contribute to the growth of the gynecological device market. These new technologies reduce postoperative recovery times and provide simpler and more convenient alternatives for patients who would otherwise require a hysterectomy to treat their uterine conditions.

MRG's US Markets for Gynecological Devices 2007 report includes coverage of all key industry competitors, including Cytyc Corporation (CYTC), Gynecare, Boston Scientific (BSX), Conceptus (CPTS), Gyrus ACMI (GGYRF.PK), Cooper Surgical, American Medical Systems (AMMD), Microsulis, Karl Storz Endoscopy, Biosphere Medical (BSMD), Richard Wolf, Olympus, Davol, Irvine Scientific, Wallach Surgical Devices, Welch Allyn, Cook Medical, Vitrolife, Rocket Medical, Carl Zeiss, and Biocompatibles/ Terumo.
