Exports of Massachusetts medical devices have grown more than twice as fast as state exports as a whole and now represent about 10 percent of all US medical equipment sold abroad, according to a report commissioned by the device makers industry group.
The study, conducted by the accounting and consulting firm Deloitte & Touche, found the device industry employs more workers in Massachusetts than in any other state except California. The report was presented in Boston on May 4, 2011, at the annual conference of the Massachusetts Medical Device Council.
