Prediction on Medical Device IPOs

By 2016 IBs will be scrambling to get the attention of medical device CEOs.
The IPOs surge for med tech companies has just started it may not be a trend yet but can become a trend very soon, Presbia has a CE mark. Companies like Trivascular, Lumenis, Lombard medical, are just examples in the Q1 of 2014. Kips bay medical is an early stage medical device now public, company like Dario is targeting diabetes monitoring, we may see very early stage IPOs with solutions to humongous markets (no pun intended) like diabetes and obesity
Institutional investors, private buy side investors are now realizing Med device is a good opportunity, this is low investment, quick exit sector and can make more on the upside of milestones. VCs are discouraging IPOs because they will lose the opportunity to dominate this sector. They already lost biotech and pharma sectors
