3.1 Introduction

Laparoscopy has been practiced for almost a century. It is a minimally invasive surgical technique in

which operations in the abdominal or pelvic cavities are performed through small incisions that are usually

between 5 mm to 15 mm. Laparoscopic access devices, or trocars, facilitate the insertion of various

instruments into the patients abdomen, allowing the surgeon to carry out the procedure. Laparoscopes are

inserted through a port of access, often at the site of the umbilicus or subxyphoid, and are equipped to

illuminate and display the peritoneal cavity to allow the surgical team to perform abdominal and pelvic

surgeries. Depending on the type of procedure, the number of incisions will vary; the average is three to

four incisions per procedure. These sites provide entrance for other laparoscopic devices to enter the body

cavity. Various hand instruments such as scissors, dissectors and graspers are used for manipulating and

maneuvering organs and tissue. Alternative devices using direct energy and ultrasonic energy may be used

for grasping, cutting and coagulating the tissue.

3.3 Trend Analysis by Segment

In 2014, the fastest growing segments of the U.S. market for laparoscopic devices were the female

sterilization and hand-assisted device markets, which grew by X% and X% over the previous year,

respectively. These segments were only capable of achieving such high growth because of their small size.

3.4 Drivers and Limiters

3.4.1 Market Drivers

Value-Added Services

Value-added services provide an opportunity for companies looking to increase their bottom line in

markets that are saturated with alternative products. For example, Covidien’s Valleylab™ Exchange

Service Agent software is used to remotely download and install software for their energy-based devices.

These optional extras will allow companies to ensure that their products maintain a competitive advantage

over other devices in the market.

3.4.2 Market Limiters

Capital Budget Constraints

Most hospitals operate on limited capital budgets. This has limited their ability to purchase new and

improved equipment. Budget constraints drive hospitals to either continue using older equipment, or opt

into replacement plans.

3.5 Competitive Analysis

Ethicon

In 2014, the leading competitor in the U.S. market for laparoscopic devices was Ethicon, with a market

share of X%. This company relies on their well-known reputation for high-quality products, especially in

the ultrasonic and access device markets. Ethicon generally prices its products above the market average,

avoiding pricing wars altogether. The company led the ultrasonic segments and also competed in the

segments for access, hand instrument, insufflation, direct energy, hand-assisted and closure devices, as

well as that of gastric bands.

3.7 Mergers and Acquisitions

Becton Dickinson Acquired CareFusion

On October 5th, 2014, Becton Dickinson acquired CareFusion for $X. The acquisition will allow Becton

Dickinson to offer a wide variety of smart devices and patient monitoring equipment that will facilitate

integrated medical management. The ultimate goal of this acquisition was to improve patient care while

keeping health care costs to a minimum.

3.8 Market Trends

3.8.1 Full Product Lines Through a Single Vendor

Purchasing a full line of laparoscopic products from a single vendor provides the buyer with a number of

advantages over purchasing from multiple vendors. Buyers are able to negotiate better prices when

purchasing a number of different devices as opposed to a single device. Contract length can also be

altered, allowing end-users to receive a greater discount in exchange for longer terms. In addition, the end-

user’s needs for repair and refurbishing are handled by a single company, thus adding to the convenience

of using a single vendor.

3.8.2 Preference With Surgical Subspecialty

Particular surgical sub-specialties may have preferences for different device types. For example,

gastrointestinal surgeons tend to prefer hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS). The surgeon is then

able to hand-palpate the tissue and more finely discern the state of disease. These preferential differences

may be fostered through training and experience with particular device types.

3.8.3 Supplier Procedure Promotion

Covidien, Ethicon, Karl Storz and other notable companies are influential sources that impact the choice

of medical intervention for alternative laparoscopic procedures, including hand-assisted laparoscopic

procedures and obesity intervention. Companies often devote resources to offer surgeon training at a low

cost with the purchase of an advertised product. When training is readily available, surgeons are more

likely to take on new technology with expected improved patient outcomes.

3.8.4 Multifunctional Devices

Laparoscopic procedures often require the use of several different instruments and devices. The removal

and insertion of various devices increases operative time. Devices that perform more than one function are

preferred, as they are more convenient for the surgeon and reduce the time otherwise required to exchange

devices.

3.9 Emerging Technologies

3.9.1 Robotics in Laparoscopic Surgery

Robotics have been used in surgery for almost three decades. The technology has advanced to the point

that laparoscopic robotic devices, such as Intuitive Surgical’s Da Vinci® robot, have been developed and

sold in the market since 2000. Common laparoscopic surgeries give the surgeon a limited two-dimensional

view of the operative field. Robotics overcomes this limitation by allowing three-dimensional

visualization via 3D visualization technology. The robotic arm is controlled by the surgeon who can

operate it remotely and does not have to be in the same room as the patient.

3.9.2 Surgical Smoke Evacuation Systems

Surgical smoke is both hazardous to the medical professionals in the operating room and can obstruct the

surgeon’s view of the operative field. When surgical instruments cut tissue, the debris can contain

contaminants and biohazards. Inhaled “plume,” or noxious airborne contaminants, can cause irritation,

dizziness, nausea or even carcinogenic cell changes. The smoke can hinder the effectiveness of

laparoscopic devices, and thus companies are introducing evacuation systems, such as Buffalo Filter’s

LapEvac® Surgical Smoke Evacuator. It actively removes surgical smoke and replaces the abdominal

cavity with clean carbon dioxide, much like an insufflation device.

3.9.3 Minilap Instruments

Minilap instruments are defined as laparoscopic instruments that have a diameter of 3.5 mm or smaller.

They have been available for over a decade, but never really caught on because earlier iterations of the

product were poorly constructed. They suffered from minimal shaft strength and were therefore not suited

for usage in large surgeries. They were relegated for use in biopsies and only for very limited indications.

Currently, there is a strong trend towards these miniature products, which is further strengthened by the

decline of single port surgeries, a competitor to needlescopic surgery (surgeries that utilize minilap

instruments). Needlescopic surgery offers patients the added benefits of an improved cosmetic effect, and

an even less invasive option in comparison to standard laparoscopic surgery. Minilap instruments are also

easier for surgeons to use, as repositioning of the instruments is significantly easier.

3.9.4 3D Laparoscopic Systems

The rod lens laparoscope market in the U.S. has long been a mature market. Over the last few years,

growth was mainly due to replacement sales, as many end-users felt that the price premium commanded

by video lens laparoscopes did not warrant the marginal increase in clinical effectiveness. The

introduction of 3D laparoscope systems will effectively change the market for laparoscopes in the United

States. Early adapters to the video laparoscope systems or those that are looking for the best technology

available will be drawn to the 3D laparoscope, which offers significantly improved optics. 3D

laparoscopes can be used either as a stand-alone product, or in conjunction with robot-assisted

laparoscopy. The improved level of perception allows surgeons to not only diagnose, but perform long

surgeries while experiencing less fatigue. The response from experts who have used 3D laparoscopes is

overwhelmingly positive. Olympus released their 3D laparoscope in April 2013, and B. Braun Aesculap

released their EinsteinVision® system in 2012.
