 PROFILE
Oratec Interventions plans to do a lot of shrinking to expand its bottom line. The company makes minimally invasive systems to treat chronic back and joint pain. Accounting for more than half of the firm's sales, Oratec's SpineCATH Intradiscal ElectroThermal Therapy (or SpineCATH IDET) uses a single catheter to heat and shrink collagen within a damaged spinal disk. The procedure deadens nerves and encourages new collagen growth, both of which can help lessen a patient's pain. The company also makes the ElectroThermal Arthroscopy System, which uses heat to shrink collagen in painful joints. Oratec sells it products to orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, radiologists, and other medical professionals.
