Competition record
Plasmatica
Deep profile · 1 linked library matter
Plasmatica is the plaintiff in the September 2026 Medtronic case. It sells a laparoscopic anti-fog product and alleges bundle penalties blocked hospital trials.
Overview
Plasmatica is a smaller surgical-device firm. Its product is an anti-fog tool for laparoscopy. It is in this directory because it is the plaintiff against Medtronic, not because it has been accused of a restraint.
The September 18, 2026 complaint says hospital contracts made a trial of its product expensive. Plaintiffs in exclusive-dealing cases have to show the discount functioned as a lock, not merely a lower price.
The matter is at the pleading stage.
Competition footprint
The rival is the party claiming foreclosure. That is a different posture from a dominant-firm defendant.
Hospital value analysis committees are the gate.
No court has credited the complaint.
Consumer & business angle
Surgeons are the users. Supply-chain staff sign the contract.
Patients do not choose the anti-fog brand.
What to watch
- The pleading stage of its case against Medtronic.
- Whether other device makers file similar bundle claims.
