Medtech trends: The most talked about device makers in August 2013

Medtech trends: The most talked about device makers in August 2013

Click to enlarge.

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.

The upset continued this month as Siemens (NYSE:SI) retained its seat at the top of the pyramid, although some of the clamor has died down regarding the company’s internal drama and earnings shortfalls.

Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) is still in 2nd place with a raft of stories about missing patient records, a $200 million acquisition outside its usual scope, legal updates and much more.

Covidien (NYSE:COV) rejoined the list at 3rd place, making headlines with positive earnings, a syringe recall and some news from emerging markets. Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) remains ever in 4th place, this month generating a swatch of financial news as well as legal and R&D updates.

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) slipped from 3rd to 5th place, although it was the focus of a prominent hacker’s 2013 Black Hat conference presentation as well as the focus of a number of regulatory hiccups and courtroom battles.
