Microencapsulation is a technology by which solid, gas and liquid particles are enclosed in microscopic particles. The technology is used for releasing active ingredients, preventing chemical odors and targeted drug delivery & release in pharmaceutical, food & beverage, paints & coatings, and agrochemical applications.

The number of people aged 60 and above has been substantially increasing in the recent years in most of the regions and is expected to keep growing over the coming years. The geriatric population is more prone to the development of pressure ulcers. The pressure relief devices market is grouped into low-tech devices and high-tech devices, based on device type.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is usually performed to restore blood flow to the heart, in case of blocked coronary arteries. CABG is also called as heart bypass surgery, bypass surgery, colloquially heart bypass, and coronary artery bypass surgery. Various approaches and surgical procedures are used to perform this procedure.

Rising hospital-acquired infection is the major reason for mortality and morbidity in the developed nations. It was observed that the incidence of patient-to-patient cross-contamination is greater via use of 12-lead systems due to outbreak of Serratia marcescens bacteria in patients after cardiac surgery. The use of disposable lead wires (LWs) has a direct impact on the cost reduction associated with cross-contamination as compared to reusable LWs.

Orthopedic & related disorders are usually seen amongst the young and geriatric population. Orthopedic diseases related to musculoskeletal system are increasingly contributing to the growth of orthopedic braces and supports market. Incidence of musculoskeletal disorders, such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, is rising.

Increasing geriatric population, changing lifestyle, and an increase in patients suffering from Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) are some of the major drivers of the atherectomy devices market. Continuous clinical trials to introduce and identify optimal interventions for treating PAD is another factor that can be attributed to the growth over the coming years.

Over a decade, human population has been exposed to new forms of viral infections. Infectious diseases such as H1N1, Ebola, Marburg viruses, SARS-, and MERS-Corona are some of them infecting more than thousands of people in various regions. The outbreaks occur usually in developing countries, but are estimated to spread over the globe through transportation facilities.

The cell isolation involves the separation of two or more cells by using different techniques including centrifugation, surface marker, and filtration. Different types of cells such as human differentiated cells, human stem cells, and animal cells can be isolated by this method for various applications. The major applications of cell isolation are biomolecule isolation, stem cell research, cancer research, therapeutics, tissue regeneration, and in vitro diagnostics.

Botulinum toxin (BNT) is a widely used neurotoxin used for the enhancement of aesthetic appearance. It works by paralyzing muscles in a controlled fashion. Hence, it involves minimal risks compared to other facial injectable. It is commonly used for treating frown lines, glabellar lines, and crow’s feet line.

Bioresorbable polymers are groundbreaking technological materials that don’t require mechanical removals, such as chlorhexidine chip or sutures. Bioresorbable materials have applications in a wide range of medical indications, such as drug delivery coatings, tissue fixation screws, coronary & peripheral vascular scaffolds, bone pins & anchors, as well as surgical and microspheres matrices and meshes.

Phenolic resins, manufactured from phenols and formaldehyde, are lightweight resins that serve a vast range of applications in the automotive, construction and electronics industries. The recent shift in trend towards sustainable solutions has encouraged product demand since its highly insulative properties allow for better building & energy efficiency in the global market.

Electronic data capture (EDC) systems market is predicted to witness lucrative growth in coming years owing to the rising demand for computer-aided software solutions. The attached benefits with its use are the key contributing factors for the increasing demand for EDC systems. These systems improve the information management and analysis, accelerate the timeline for clinical trial approval, and make faster decisions pertaining to product approval procedures.

Chromium plating process involves different steps including stripping, polishing, cleaning, plating and buffing. The automotive chromium is widely used in applications such as decorative and functional plating. The decorative chromium is preferred in exterior automotive components or vehicle parts such as door handles, exterior trims, wheel covers, mirror covers, logos & emblems, and others.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease affecting people of nearly all age groups. Type 1 diabetes, indicating insulin deficiency, is generally found amongst pediatric population and young adults. As per the estimates of the American Diabetes Association, only 5% of the overall diabetic population have type 1 diabetes. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes indicates insulin resistance and is the most common type of diabetes occurring amongst people.

Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) are companies which sell mobile services under the name of licensed mobile operators. They partner up with telecom service providers or mobile network operators (MNOs) and sell services based on their brand. MVNOs rely on the brand of its partner company to sell its services.

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is an acrylic glass made from transparent thermoplastics most commonly known by its trade names Plexiglas, Perspex or Lucite. The product is widely used as an alternative to conventional glass in applications that may compromise consumer safety in case of breakage.

There are a growing number of surgical procedures being conducted throughout the world. According to OMICS International Conferences, 2015, approximately 234 million surgical procedures are performed annually. Patient warming and cooling systems are widely used in pre-, post-, and perioperative surgeries. On receiving an anesthesia before surgery, the body temperature of a patient lowers and, hence, there arises a huge need for controlling core body temperature. 

Bone densitometer is a medical device designed to accurately measure bone density. It is primarily use in the detection of metabolic bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, which are characterized by low bone mineral density and high risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is also characterized by gradual loss in calcium and bone structural changes. 

Orthopedic navigation system finds application in the spine, hip, and knee surgeries. Spine surgery navigation system is used for placing implants in spinal fusion procedure to treat defects caused by deformity, degenerative disc diseases, fractures, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis. 

Utilizing local agents to achieve hemostasis represents traditional methods of surgery. However, the development of new materials in chemical hemostasis with new chemical properties, mechanisms of action, and applications has replaced traditional surgical procedures.
