Medical supplies industry
Article Abstract:
The medical supplies industry as a whole offers investors average timeliness, but stocks in niche markets such as makers of computerized cardio-vascular technology are likely to rise as usage increases. These new procedures offer minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of heart ailments. Hospital demand for medical supplies is expected to grow at a slower rate, as a larger share of Medicare patients move into managed care.

Medical supplies industry
Article Abstract:
Medical supplies sales in the next three to five years are expected to increase through the late 1990s with new product introductions, along with reforms in FDA product review. Lower capital expenditures by hospitals and new outpatient treatment facilities will have an impact on medical supplies sales as well. Industry earnings for 1996 and 1997 are expected to be good, and these stocks should outperform the market.
