![Stethoscope connected to a phone with medical data overlay.](https://investingnews.com/media-library/stethoscope-connected-to-a-phone-with-medical-data-overlay.jpg?id=50934885&width=1200&height=800&quality=80&coordinates=0%2C0%2C0%2C1)
The growing prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes is driving increasing innovation in medical device technology. In 2024 alone,30 new devices were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Wearable medical devices and the use of artificial intelligence in medical technology are two key trends in this sector.
Moving forward, BCC Research projects that the global medical device industry will increase from US$810.4 billion in 2024 to US$1.3 trillion by 2029, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 9.8 percent.
Investors who want exposure to this wave of growth may want to consider NASDAQ small-cap medical device stocks. Below is a list of the top NASDAQ medical device companies based on year-on-year gains.
All data was compiled on January 14, 2025, using TradingView’s stock screener, and the medical device makers listed below had market caps between US$50 million and US$500 million at that time.
1. Delcath Systems (NASDAQ:DCTH)
Year-on-year gain: 202.86 percent
Market cap: US$405.43 million
Share price: US$12.69
Delcath Systems is a pharmaceutical and medical device company focused on “interventional oncology,” specifically regarding the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers.
Its commercial product portfolio is focused on combining its Hepactic Delivery System (HDS) with the chemotherapeutic drug melphalan for "high-dose chemotherapy to the liver while controlling systemic exposure and associated side effects." The HDS is approved in the US and Europe under different commercial names and categories.
In the US, it is marketed in combination with melphalan as the FDA-approved Hepzato Kit, which is considered a combination drug and device product. In Europe, the HDS is marketed as device-only under the name Chemostat Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan and is regulated as a Class III medical device.
Delcath Systems’ share price got its first big boost in the second quarter of 2024, rising nearly 45 percent from US$5.56 on May 5 to US$8.04 on May 21. The period included the publication of encouraging results from its FOCUS Study in metastatic uveal melanoma patients treated with the Hepzato Kit and its first quarter financial results, which outline total revenues of US$3.1 million, up more than 416 percent over the same quarter in the previous year.
A series of positive study results released in late August sent shares of Delcath up another 37 percent.
This slew of news included results from an independent study conducted by the University Hospital of Leipzig, Germany, which shows the efficacy and safety of repeated chemosaturation treatments using Delcath’s Chemostat Hepatic Delivery System for the treatment of patients with primary or secondary liver tumors.
On December 2, Delcath received FDA clearance for its investigational new drug application for a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Hepzato in combination with standard of care for liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer. The clearance gives Delcath the authorization to initiate patient enrollment, which the company expects to begin in the second half of 2025. The news sent Delcath’s stock up to US$12.64 per share.
Shares of Delcath reached their highest yearly peak of US$12.79 on January 13, 2025, after the company shared preliminary Q4 and full-year total revenues of about US$15.1 million and US$37.2 million, respectively.

“Within our Mechanical Thrombectomy segment, we achieved key milestones by receiving both FDA 510(k) clearance and CE Marking for AlphaVac in the treatment of pulmonary embolism,” Jim Clemmer, president and CEO of AngioDynamics, stated at the time. “These indications open up multiple large, fast-growing markets, and helped to drive a more than 68% sequential increase in AlphaVac revenue during the fourth quarter.”
