Applied Pressure: The Strains on an Ailing Implantable Medical Device Supply Chain

Our active and actively aging population is the dichotomy fueling significant growth for implantable medical devices. Innovations focused on mobility, engagement and quality of life are directly targeting this growing population. The implantable medical device industry is poised to capitalize on these unique needs, while simultaneously meeting unprecedented cost pressures. It is time for manufacturers to seek expertise in inventory management and logistics for greater visibility, control and profitability. For implantable medical device manufacturers to be as active and healthy as the patients they serve, their future depends on the ability to differentiate products — not only by price, but through cost, service and documented outcomes. New trends in personal health tracking keep patients moving, and data collection will similarly improve the health of your business.
