The Bedford Report Provides Equity Research on MAKO Surgical & Stryker Corporation
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 09/28/11 -- Profit margins throughout the medical supplies industry are being hurt from several directions. Companies have had to lower device prices to combat the high unemployment rates, while sweeping healthcare reform that came into effect last year has also crimped profits. In addition to margin concerns, the FDA's medical device approval process continues to confuse the industry.

The Institute of Medicine recently recommended that the US government create a new system of approving medical devices because the current system does not guarantee the products are safe. The panel from the Institute for Medicines also said the FDA should abandon a process that allows for medical devices to be approved if the manufacturers prove they are similar to devices that are already on the market.
