ARTICLE SUMMARY:
Against a backdrop of healthcare reform, with its dual aims of improved outcomes and lower costs, minimally invasive surgery is more appealing than ever to hospitals, patients and surgeons. At the EMT Summit on October 19, among many presenting companies across the spectrum of clinical categories are several surgeon-invented technologies, designed to make it easier for surgeons to work with accuracy in small spaces, with fewer hands, fewer ports, and fewer disfiguring cuts.
The annual EMT Summit brings together top medical device VCs, business development executives from an ever broadening group of strategics seeking growth opportunities in the life sciences, and the management teams of many of the most promising start-ups in the device space.
