According to MRG, procedure volumes in cardiovascular surgery, orthopedics, endoscopy, urology and gynecology will grow at between 4-5 percent annually from 2010-2015. A few procedural segments, including anesthetic and dental implants, percutaneous heart valves, OCT catheters and spinal nonfusion implants, will expand significantly.
MRG predicts percutaneous heart valves, set to launch in the United States in 2012, will grow 200 percent, while OCT catheters, first approved in the U.S. in 2010, will grow 58 percent.
Spinal nonfusion implants will grow 20 percent, according to MRG. This growth is expected to spring from positive clinical results on the devices.
