Although many in industry acknowledge that the current climate for medical technology investment is lukewarm at best, the results of a recent poll suggest that the climate will definitely heat up in the coming year—if the U.S. economy stabilizes and moves into its much-expected recovery.

Cosponsored by the law firm of Oppenheimer, Wolff & Donnelly LLP (Minneapolis) and MX, the poll gauged the opinions of about 100 senior executives and venture capitalists with an average of 16 years experience in the medical technology industry. It was conducted during the last two weeks of March among firms from across the United States.
