Abstract

The medical market is an incredibly attractive one for MEMS, and its use in medical applications is blossoming. The technology has already provided dramatic but tangible improvements in both patient healthcare and outcomes, and even more exciting are the devices in the development pipeline that are anticipated to come to market in the latter part of this forecast, and beyond. MEMS' impact on medicine has been, and will continue to be subtle, but it is nothing short of revolutionary.

This report takes an in-depth look at the devices, medical fields, end-use applications, and healthcare trends that will drive this market segment over the next five years. Devices range from a variety of sensors to a whole host of existing and new devices including nozzles, needles, pumps, and lab-on-a-chip, to name just a few. Sales forecasts (for both units and revenues) by device and end-use are projected through 2006.
