laparoscopy stuff.... stryker is another big one, stryker and olympus probably have 80% market share combined, if not more....

total joints, there are tons of them. some of the bigger ones are Depuy(johnson and johnson company), biomet, smith and nephew, encore, stryker... there are lots of small companies out there too..... stuff that some doctor "invents" and sellls to themselves.....

alot of the same companies also do spine hardware but we dont do much neuro so I cant name many more....
