Deal Statistics Quarterly, Q2 2004

01 Jul 2004

Statistical review compiled from our Strategic Transactions database including financings by type (IPO, private placement etc.); financings by sector (surgical equipment, implantable devices, etc.); alliances by therapeutic category (cardiovascular, orthopedic, etc.); alliances by industry segment (biomaterials, monitoring equipment, etc. ); for three separate industries: medical devices, in vitro diagnostics, and pharmaceuticals/biotechnology.

In this issue, we present another installment of our quarterly review of dealmaking—for April-June 2004. Our data comes from Windhover's Strategic Transactions Database, which covers deal activity within the pharmaceutical/biotechnology, medical device, and in vitro diagnostics industries.

Some notes about our coverage: we limit our review to human health care (thus no animal health or agricultural transactions)...
