Medical Implants
The sales abroad of
medical implants,
including those used for
breast enhancements and
to help lose weight,
increased markedly this
year’s first two
quarters.
Costa Rica exported
us$134 million worth of
these types of
implements from January
through June.
The amount is 452%
higher than reported in
the same period in 2007
($24 million), according
to data from the
Promoter of Foreign
Trade (PROCOMER in
Spanish).
The United States is the
market for 65% of the
exports.
In addition, Allergan is
investing us$7 million
in a new plant next to
its current one in the
Global Park Free Zone in
Heredia. The firm is
gradually closing its
plant in Ireland and
increasing the
production of implants
in Costa Rica |
