There are nearly 6,000 people working directly, and approximately 6,000 people working indirectly in the medical device industry in the Warsaw, Indiana and Kosciusko County areas. Nearly 60% of the medical device industry and production occurs in the that same area. Orthopedic device sales coming out of the Warsaw area account for about $33 Billion annually.
