Executive Summary
Save for a sudden surge of M&A activity at the end of the year, the tally of 2013 medtech acquisitions looks likely to fall short of the 219 that passed Clinica’s news desk in 2012. As of 9 December 2013, we had recorded 204 deals – nonetheless, this still beat the 171 seen in 2011.
