The Company’s products compete primarily in the multi-billion dollar market for electrosurgical generators and single-use specialty medical products. Electrosurgery products are used in approximately 80% of all surgical procedures. Industry demand for electrosurgical medical products is being favorably impacted by several trends including: the aging population, increased emphasis on less invasive surgical procedures, higher level of outpatient care, continuing pressure to improve productivity and reduce costs; and the heightened awareness for reducing the transmission of infectious diseases.
