The medical device space is growing rapidly as new startups and investments from major players enter the market. Some of the most notable investors in medical devices include venture capital firms such as Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Sequoia Capital, and Accel Partners, as well as large companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic.
This influx of investment is driving innovation in the medical device space, with new devices and treatments being developed all the time. This growth is also creating opportunities for entrepreneurs, who can now launch their own medical device startups and access funding from major players.
“Medtronic is continuing our efforts to stop Axonics from profiting off of their unauthorized use of our innovations and intellectual property," said Mira Sahney, president of the pelvic health business in the neuroscience portfolio at Medtronic. "The pattern is clear: Axonics uses Medtronic technologies to improperly compete in the market. It is time for Axonics to be held accountable for these unlawful acts."
