In the U.S., nearly 12.3 million specialty endoscopic procedures were performed in 2005.  The advantages of endoscopic surgery over open surgery include lower overall treatment costs, reduced patient trauma, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.  These benefits have resulted in the conversion of many types of open surgery procedures to endoscopic procedures, a continuing trend that is being driven by advancements in the array of endoscopic surgery products that includes access devices, endoscopes, hand instruments, electrosurgery systems, and fluid management systems, among others.

The U.S. market for specialty endoscopic surgery products—including those used in arthroscopic, endovascular, gastrointestinal, neurologic, otorhinolaryngologic, and thoracoscopic procedures—was valued at approximately $1.7 billion in 2005.  Growing at a compound annual rate of 9.3%, sales of these products are projected to reach an estimated $3.8 billion in the year 2014.

This dynamic report from Medtech Insight includes analyses of products, technologies, current and forecast markets, competitors, and opportunities in the U.S. market for specialty endoscopic surgery products. 

Covered topics in this report include angioscopes; arthroscopes; bronchoscopes; colonoscopes; disposable, reusable, and reposable trocars; duodenoscopes; gastroscopes; electrosurgery generators and accessories; endoscopic surgical procedure volumes; fluid management systems; hand instruments such as clamps and needle holders, clip appliers, forceps, graspers and retractors, pencils and dissectors, and scissors; laser surgery systems; neuroscopes; otoendoscopes; rhinolaryngoscopes; sigmoidoscopes; sinuscopes; suction/irrigation systems; and ultrasonic surgery systems.
