Driven by new technologies and innovations, the medical device industry has become one of the biggest markets in healthcare. According to the US’s National Center for Biotechnology Information, medical devices and implant numbers have grown to the extent that there are over 1,700 types of devices and 50,000 approved medical devices in the US alone. Over the past decade, this extraordinary growth has led to the development of state-of-the-art health and medical instruments, ranging from simple tongue depressors and bedpans to complex programmable pacemakers with microchip technology and laser surgical devices.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the veterinary electrosurgery market. Veterinary electrosurgery is the application of a radio frequency with alternating polarity of electric current to coagulate, or cut the biological tissue. Veterinaryelectrosurgical devices are used to make precise cuts and further controlling blood loss by coagulationat the surgical site during procedures.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the viral clearance market. Viral clearance refers to the time it takes for a virus to no longer be detected in tests. At that point, the body's immune system and treatments have successfully removed evidence of the virus. The amount of time it takes for a virus to clear from the system varies for each virus and can vary from person to person.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the vitamins market. A vitamin is an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient which an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism. Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized in the organism, either at all or not in sufficient quantities, and therefore must be obtained through the diet.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the ultrasound market. An ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to create a picture (also known as a sonogram) of organs, tissues, and other structures inside the body. Unlike x-rays, ultrasounds don't use any radiation.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the urinalysis market. Urinalysis is a diagnostic physical, chemical, and microscopic examination of a urine sample (specimen). Specimens can be obtained by normal emptying of the bladder (voiding) or by a hospital procedure called catheterization.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the transplant diagnostics market. Transplant diagnostics are clinical diagnostic tools that help to improve the efficiency of transplantation procedures. HLA typing is of utmost importance in applications such as organ and blood stem cell transplantation.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the tissue diagnostics market.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the surgical tourniquets market. Surgical tourniquets enable the surgeons to work in a bloodless operative field by preventing blood flow to a limb and allow surgical procedures to be performed with improved accuracy, safety, and speed.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the surgical suture market. Surgical suture is a medical device used to hold body tissues together after an injury or surgery. Application generally involves using a needle with an attached length of thread. A number of different shapes, sizes, and thread materials have been developed over its millennia of history.
