What drives this industry
Medical devices compound through surgeon training + hospital purchasing relationships + FDA-approved product cycles. Once a surgeon is trained on a specific implant or surgical robot, switching costs are real, retraining, recertification, and surgeon preference all favour the incumbent. Look for ROIC above 15% + gross margins above 60%.
