Boston Scientific Corporation Research Report

Boston Scientific is scheduled to present PREVAIL clinical trial results on March 9, 2013 at the American College of Cardiology 2013 Annual Scientific Sessions. The study was designed to see if the company's WATCHMAN device could effectively prevent strokes. The WATCHMAN has already been available for sale in Europe since 2005 and some countries in Asia since 2009. In the United States, however, WATCHMAN is still an investigational device, and results from the PREVAIL confirmatory study are expected to be submitted for approval to the US FDA. WATCHMAN is a highly promising device for Boston Scientific, with Wells Fargo analyst Biegelsen projecting its sales to total at $159 by 2017. Going forward, Boston Scientific plans on outpacing its rivals and boost its business in high growth markets like endoscopy, urology, and women's health.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. Research Report

Thermo Fischer recently launched the Brilliance GBS Agar for the testing of Group B streptococci (GBS) during pregnancy. The new product is designed to simplify screening tests for clinicians and produce more accurate results. GBS is a bacterium that can be passed from mother to baby during labor, and is the most common cause of severe, sometimes fatal, infections. The product is designed for laboratories that are already screening for GBS but are looking for more efficient ways to produce results. Going forward, Thermo Fisher plans to continue investing in new products and emerging markets to drive growth. The company's One Lambda acquisition may also accelerate its growth in the transplant diagnostics market.
