U.S. Thermal Ablation Devices Market
Report #A562 - August 2012
228 Pages – 77 Exhibits – 11 Company Profiles

In the medical devices industry, the term “ablation”—primarily referring to radiofrequency or RF ablation—has become a common description attached to devices that “kill or remodel selective tissue without vaporizing the major structures themselves.” Today, minimally invasive thermal ablation involves not only RF, but laser, microwave and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technologies, and is commonly utilized in several established, growing, technology-driven medical treatment areas, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), cancer/tumor ablation, endometrial ablation/menorrhagia, and the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency/varicose veins, as a cost-effective, efficacious alternative to surgery.

In addition to the lucrative (more than $730 million) and steadily growing U.S. thermal ablation medical devices market, nonsurgical energy-based (ablative) aesthetic devices, including laser/light-based and RF-based skin rejuvenation/tightening systems, as well as emerging HIFU and promising new nonsurgical fat reduction technologies such as cryolipolysis, are part of a significantly large, growing market benefiting from an aging population with a high discretionary income and willingness to invest in fast, effective, office-based aesthetic treatments with minimal down time. In 2011, the total estimated U.S. nonsurgical energy-based aesthetic devices market totaled more than $386 million.

Combined, the U.S. thermal ablation devices market—including generators, probes/applicators/instruments/disposables/accessories and service/procedure fees for the treatment areas defined in this report—totaled more than $1.1 billion in 2011. Despite current economic instability, each market segment profiled in this report is expected to increase at moderate to very healthy compound annual growth rates—ranging from 3.3%-17.7%—due to strong demand, cost-efficiency and efficacy, strong reimbursement, emerging unique, proprietary cost-effective, multi-platform next-generation technologies, and an aging population susceptible to various diseases/conditions.

This dynamic report from Medtech Insight includes analyses of products, markets, competitors, and emerging drugs, technology and opportunities. Covered products in this report include selected specialized energy-based generator systems, medical devices/instruments/accessories for the following minimally invasive or nonsurgical ablation treatment areas: BPH, cancer, chronic venous insufficiency/varicose veins, menorrhagia, and selected aesthetic areas, such as skin rejuvenation/skin tightening and body sculpting/cellulite/targeted fat reduction. Other applications include treatment of spinal denervation, stress urinary incontinence, and uterine fibroids.
