COVID-19 put a dampener on Conmed’s 50^th anniversary of operations, but CFO Todd Garner says the company is poised to resume its growth strategy, post-pandemic.

Most of the major medical device companies have reported sales and earnings for the last three months of 2017 and the full year. Cardiovascular companies are succeeding with new technology while continuing to grow revenues from established technologies, especially in emerging markets. Orthopedic firms are looking to new technology, like surgery robots and neurostimulation, to differentiate themselves from the competition and improve profits.

The third of three Winners and Losers features covering the companies that announced sales and earnings results in late July and early August looks at major companies that only market medical devices aside from the orthopedics device makers that were covered in an earlier Winners and Losers feature.

Many medtech companies reported their sales and earnings for all of 2016, along with projections for 2017, at the end of January or early February. Medtech Insight has examined their reports as well as the comments of the analysts who track these companies to highlight a few that had especially good years, some that had down years, and some lesser-known companies worth watching in the future.
