Our expertise (continued)
3 - Identification of new distribution channels, new acquisition targets and joint venture opportunities
Over the last 20 years AVICENNE has acquired a thorough understanding of the worldwide players in the medical devices industry: important key decision-makers in large orthopedic manufacturing companies (OEM), contract manufacturers for specific technologies and regional and national distributors in industrialized and emerging markets. This extensive practical knowledge has resulted into a comprehensive database encompassing over 20,000 contacts worldwide in this industry.
After identifying potential partners, we perform a SWOT analysis for each one and present our recommendations and final choice.
4 - Monitoring of markets and detection of new high-potential products
AVICENNE monitors most countries and continents for new products and their growth over time. Direct interaction with surgeons or clinics provides information about the launch and use of new devices. Future trends are exposed by looking at the market share of various companies in key segments as well as changes in the regulatory and pricing environment.
5 - Evaluation of production processes
Over the last 20 years, we have visited hundreds of companies, manufacturers and subcontractors in this industry. We have evaluated the performance of many production facilities involved in: forging, casting, machining, coating, sterilization and packaging.
We have systematically benchmarked Research & Development, Engineering and Production departments during our assignments.
AVICENNE uses this exhaustive knowledge of production techniques and tools to help its clients benchmark their technologies to current standards and future trends.
