The Medical Device Business Journal — Medical Device News & Articles | MassDevice

MassDevice.com looked at some of the most talked-about medical device companies, based on trends in U.S. Google searches for the last 30 days.

Last months’ trends stayed pretty much on target with other recent months, with medtech titan Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) dominating the internet landscape, especially as new of the company’s disappointing renal denervation trial swept the market. Medtronic also posted major legal updates, including in a TAVI war with long-time rival Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE:EW) (which did not make it onto the list) and a CRM patent row with Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) (which landed in 4th place in the Trends chart).

Fellow healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) took 2nd place, with its own Supreme Court level legal update, a few clinical trial reports and the $4.15 billion sale of its ortho-clinical diagnostics business. Covidien (NYSE:COV) took the 3rd seat, posting a 19% dip in quarterly profits, bailing on renal denervation development efforts and hunting for a new CFO to replace Charles Dockendorff.

Rounding out the list. St. Jude Medical (NYSE:STJ) came in 5th with plenty of news of its own, hitting new Wall Street heights, beating earnings expectations, shuffling its executive deck and landing wins with the FDA and at the patent office.
