About Curon Medical Inc.

Curon Medical, Inc. engages in the development, manufacture, and marketing of proprietary products for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. The company’s products consist of radiofrequency generators and single-use disposable devices.

Products

The Stretta System: Treatment of GERD

The company’s proprietary Stretta System provides physicians with the tools to perform a minimally invasive and outpatient procedure for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. The company’s medication, the Stretta procedure treats GERD, rather than managing the symptoms by neutralizing or inhibiting acid secretion in the stomach. The Stretta procedure is commonly an outpatient procedure with minimal side effects. The company’s Stretta System consists of the Stretta Catheter, which is a disposable flexible catheter with needle electrodes, and the Curon Control Module, which is a radiofrequency energy generator.

The Secca System: Treatment of Bowel Incontinence

The Secca System provides a minimally invasive, and outpatient procedure for the treatment of bowel incontinence. The Secca procedure utilizes the same radiofrequency technology and treatment concepts as the Stretta System. Using the company’s Curon Control Module and handheld disposable device called the Secca Handpiece, physicians deliver radiofrequency energy into the muscle of the anal sphincter to improve its barrier function.

Product Description

The company has developed a suite of products incorporating proprietary design features for use in the Stretta and Secca procedures. These products consist of a disposable catheter and a disposable handpiece for delivery of controlled radiofrequency energy to tissue, and a radiofrequency generator, known as the Curon Control Module. Both products and products under development utilize proprietary software to interface with the company’s Curon Control Module.

Single-use disposable devices: Both the Stretta Catheter and the Secca Handpiece are disposable products incorporating designs that enable a physician to access the treatment site and deliver radiofrequency energy into the tissue. Features include: a balloon in the Stretta Catheter, which is inflated once the Stretta Catheter reaches the lower esophageal sphincter to maintain catheter positioning; four electrode needles, which are deployed into the tissue at the treatment site for delivery of radiofrequency energy; thermocouples located at each needle tip and base, which provide continuous temperature readings to the Curon Control Module, enabling precise temperature control; irrigation ports located at the base of each electrode, which deliver water to the surface tissue during treatment; and an illuminated clear window in the Secca Handpiece that enables the physician to view the treatment area.

Curon Control Module: The Stretta System and the Secca System both incorporate the company’s radiofrequency energy generator, the Curon Control Module. The Curon Control Module has four channels, each of which independently control the four needle electrodes on the Stretta Catheter and Secca Handpiece. An integrated pump delivers water to surface tissue during the procedure. The Stretta System and the Secca System each utilize proprietary software installed onto the Curon Control Module. The software provides a distinct graphical user interface and the functions and parameters that are required for the particular procedure.

Radiofrequency energy: The company’s products are based on radiofrequency energy delivery. Radiofrequency energy has been cleared by the FDA for many therapies involving tissue heating, tissue remodeling and nerve pathway interruption, including: shrinking prostatic tissue to treat enlarged prostates; interrupting nerve pathways in the heart to treat irregular heartbeats; shrinking tissue in the shoulder joint to prevent repeated shoulder dislocation; and shrinking tissue in the base of the tongue to alleviate obstructive sleep apnea.

Competition

The company’s primary competitors are large medical device manufacturers such as Ethicon Endo Surgery and United States Surgical, manufacturers of instrumentation for anti-reflux surgery and NDO Surgical, which manufactures an endoscopic sewing device for treating GERD. It also competes with AstraZeneca, Takeda Abbott Pharmaceutical, Wyeth Laboratories, and Eisai. The company, in the bowel incontinence market, competes with American Medical Systems and Medtronic.

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
