Medical supplies industry
Article Abstract:
Diabetes has become more prevalent in the US, and the world at large, with the ageing of the US population and other factors. The market for diabetes and glucose test equipment, as well as insulin therapy needs, has become more important to medical supplies companies, such as Johnson and Johnson and Abbot Labs. Cost controls and new products have combined for good 1998 profit prospects for the industry, and investors should seek timely stocks.

Medical supplies industry
Article Abstract:
The medical supplies industry as a whole appears to have a bright future but since the industry is large and varies in products produced, investors should check Safety and Timeliness ratings for individual companies to avoid risks. New products will be the key to increased sales, but since these require additional research and development costs and are often delayed by government regulations, the beneficial results are often slow in coming.

Medical supplies industry
Article Abstract:
The US government is planning to make some major changes for managed care and Medicare recipients beginning in Nov 1998 and this will have an effect on provider cost controls. Medical supply manufacturers, especially the orthopedic sector, will be affected by this, but new products will aid sales and margins in 1998 and through the years 2001-2003. Investors, however, should select the most timely stocks for commitment.
