Medquip, Inc., is a medical technology company that designs, patents, and markets medical devices in the endoscopic surgical niche market. Three devices have already been designed with the participation of leading physicians and surgeons in gastroenterology. Initial incorporation of seven patents is planned. The company projects $16 million in sales in year three. The company expects to have $50 million in revenue by year five. Patent applications for its first three market entries were already made using a leading patent law firm.
Each market segment is clearly defined and subject to high growth trends. In the next three-years, one market will surpass $160 million. That is the endoscopic variceal ligation market. Medquip’s founder participated in the development of the market leader in this field. He has made significant improvements to the product. Another market addresses a clear and unmet need for endoscopic surgery. It is the clearing of fundal pool of blood and tissue while performing surgical procedures. To address the surgeons’ needs, a new and innovative design was created.
This market should begin at $20 million but could expand to several hundred million as soon as approvals are obtained for many varied surgical procedures. Medquip plans on licensing the technology to a greater company. The company matures by year three. The company could be profitable in the first year if it can close a proposed licensing arrangement.
