Whilst steady progress in that direction has the name of the game for decades, the medtech sector appears to be at an inflection point with a secular improvement in treatment standards occurring in recent years. Less-young investors (I’m being polite) will remember a similar feeling in the global technology sector back in 1995, during the early stages of the tech boom.
