Top 10 Medtech Stories in September 2013

Much of the most popular content on Qmed for September related to the largest medical device companies. Johnson & Johnson was featured in three stories out of the top ten. Medtronic, Covidien, and Baxter also made appearances. While several of the stories had a negative slant, a number were substantially positive. A roundup of the top ten states for medical device manufacturing reflects the U.S. medtech industry's continued strength. Medtronic had a significant breakthrough in getting a novel diabetic device to pass regulatory muster at FDA, which could help pad the company's bottom line in late 2013.
