  5. Implantable drug pump (idp)the idp is a sophisticated, highly programmable drug infusion device that is implanted in the body and refilled via a hypodermic needle through the skin. Infusion rates and schedules may be programmed, and via various forms of catheters, drugs can be delivered intrathecally to the spinal column, into the abdomen, into the brain, or intravenously. Status: amf/hmt has sold the idp technology to a strategic partner that is an international medical device company. Amf/hmt continues to support the strategic partner as it conducts clinical trials and readies it for commercialization for the benefit of patients.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
