As in previous years, Deloitte announced the list of top 500 high-tech growth companies in North America in 2015. The largest proportion of companies still come from the software development industry, and less is the instrumentation industry. For the first time, the author has sorted out the companies in which the industry is a medical device, with a total of 16 companies.
The 16 companies are relatively dispersed in the field, three of which are related to remote/ mobile medical care , two of which are involved in the field of genetic diagnosis and precision medicine , four of which serve the cosmetic and plastic surgery industry, and one surgical robot company.
1.Intersect ENT
Intersect ENT is a high-growth pharmaceutical device company that has developed a drug-coated absorbable implant technology that ensures targeted delivery of therapeutic drugs. This targeted drug delivery technology is designed to ensure that otolaryngologists can improve patient care.
The company's initial product is the drug-coated implant PROPEL and mini-PROPEL approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of chronic sinusitis.
2.Ellipse Technologies
Ellipse Technologies, headquartered in Aliso Viejo, Calif., is hoping to make a difference in orthopedics and spinal fusion remote control.
At present, the company has developed a remote control distribution system, which mainly uses magnets for control, which can effectively reduce the need for postoperative surgical adjustment. The main purpose is to ensure that the position of the spinal implant and the plastic implant does not deviate too much after entering the skin, while at the same time using a remote, non-invasive manner.
In fact, remote control of implants is relatively hot in foreign countries, such as breast and spinal implant remote control, MicroCHIPS implanted contraceptive remote control, etc. have been clinically applied. However, due to the reasons of medical supervision in China, there may be a long distance from the actual application.
3.Sequenom
Sequenom is a world-renowned professional manufacturer of bio-tech instruments and supporting reagents. The company is dedicated to research and development of state-of-the-art mass spectrometry array gene analysis technology, providing superior solutions for biomedical, molecular medicine, non-invasive prenatal fetal diagnosis research and clinical applications.
At present, Sequenom's self-developed mass spectrometry array technology platform enables comprehensive qualitative and quantitative research on the genome. The platform uses advanced mass spectrometry technology to provide unparalleled sensitivity and specificity for genomics research. Its mass spectrometry array technology platform has been widely used in the world's top genetic research institutions such as the National Institutes of Health, Columbia University Medical Center, the British Sanger Center, the University of Tokyo, the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Central Research Institute of Taiwan, Beijing Huada Gene and Shanghai Institute of Hematology. Signor's genotyping technology has been recognized as the gold standard in this field. Its revolutionary high-throughput and low-cost DNA methylation quantitative analysis technology has opened up an economical and practical new platform for epigenetic research, and has received extensive attention from international and domestic academic circles.
Sequenom is headquartered in San Diego, California. It has branches in Germany, Australia and China.
On May 30, 2014, Sequenom's Life Sciences Division was acquired by Agena Bioscience.
4.OrthoAccel Technologies
OrthoAccel Technologies, based in Houston, Texas, is a supplier of orthodontic equipment and treatment services.
The company's initial product is AcceleDent, according to which it is the first orthodontic application approved by the US FDA. It is mainly powered by battery power to achieve the purpose of speeding up corrective treatment.
Patients receive standard treatments including tooth extraction, installation of wire sleeves, and more. After the patient has a wire sleeve, the AcceleDent device is installed for correction, which can be done at home. During the corrective treatment, the patient puts the device in the mouth for 20 minutes every day. Although in the mouth, the device provides low-frequency pulse vibration to the teeth, the vibration does not produce an uncomfortable feeling that the patient can hardly notice.
Researchers believe that the vibrational forces provided by standard orthodontic treatments increase the metabolism of the alveolar bone and tissues surrounding the teeth, making the correction of the teeth faster and more effective. Dubravko Pavlin, associate professor of the Department of Correction at the Health Sciences Center, said: "We believe that the application of cyclic loading (vibration control) not only increases the speed of tooth displacement, but also provides a solid foundation for creating more stable corrective treatments."
