With a rapidly aging boomer population, this is a good time to be looking at a company like ArthroCare (NASDAQ: ARTC), which manufactures products that enable minimally invasive surgery. Its sports medicine division offers products to surgeons working on knees, ankles, elbows, hips, and other joints that are taking steady pounding among the millions of boomers who continue to lead active lifestyles. In addition to sports medicine, ARTC also has divisions focusing on products for the spine; ears, nose, and throat; and other general areas such as gynecology, cardiology, and urology.
