Following a challenging 2020, Johnson & Johnson reclaims second place in 2021. J&J's medical devices division offers a diverse variety of products for orthopaedics, surgery, interventional treatments, and eye health. The detrimental impact of the Covid-19 outbreak and the resulting delays in medical operations to their surgery, orthopaedics, and vision divisions drove a 12 percent drop in medical equipment globally. Growth in the interventional solutions segment, spearheaded by electrophysiology devices, somewhat offset the drop. "We remain incredibly excited about the great potential of the end-to-end digital surgery ecosystem," Alex Gorsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said in a press release. "We are simultaneously developing three differentiated robotic programs and recently achieved a significant milestone with the FDA clearance for our Velys Robotic-Assisted Solution designed for use with the Attune Total Knee System." Our industry is only now beginning to realize the full potential and advantages of robotic and digital technology, and it seems only natural that the same business that pioneered sterile surgery 135 years ago is now positioned to lead the way."
