The analysis was conducted by consulting firm Deloitte & Touche. The company’s study also showed Massachusetts employs the second-highest number of employees in the medical device sector, second only to California.

Notably, the analysis also revealed venture-backed medical device start-up companies in Massachusetts raised $286 million last year, representing approximately 12 percent of total U.S. venture capital investment in the medical device industry. By comparison, Massachusetts comprises a little more than 2 percent of the total U.S. population.
