Medical plastics are polymeric material that can be molded into any shape. They are generally made from thermoplastic materials. After thermoplastics are heated, they can be easily molded. Medical grade plastics are temperature and chemical resistant. This study provides information on use of medical plastics in various enduse industries in India. The study is segmented on the basis of type and application. The study mostly deals with the applications of medical plastics in disposables, drug delivery devices, diagnostic instruments, catheters, and surgical instruments. In addition, the report also includes key drivers, restraints, and opportunities in the market. The global medical plastics market analysis covers in-depth information about major industry participants. Some of the major players in the market include Arkema S.A., Basf SE, Celanese Corporation, Solvay SA, Covestro AG, and Sabic.

Nitric oxide is a chemical compound in gas form that is used to treat infants with severe breathing problems associated with narrow blood vessels in the lungs. It works by relaxing smooth muscle to widen (dilate) blood vessels, especially in the lungs. Nitric oxide is usually used together with a breathing machine (ventilator). Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is recognized as a potent and selective pulmonary vasodilator that does not decrease systemic vascular tone. The Food and Drug Administration of the U.S. first approved iNO in 1999 for use as a medical gas to treat hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension in term and late preterm neonates. Thereafter, iNO therapy is clinically applied to treat PPHN in term and late preterm neonates without consensus.

CRISPR is a technology that is used in gene editing enabling researchers and scientists globally to alter DNA sequence and modify gene function with ease. CRISPR gene editing was adopted from the antivirus immunity system of single-celled microorganisms, namely archaea and bacteria. Fragments of alien DNA, known as a spacer, are incorporated and transcribed into guide crRNA (CRISPR RNAs) to specifically target and cleave the genome of the virus and other foreign bodies using Cas proteins. In other words, the CRISPR-Cas9 system directs the Cas9 nuclease to form a site-directed double-strand DNA break using a small RNA molecule that results in permanent alterations of the genomic target sequence and repair the damage caused to DNA. These components, when transferred into more complex organisms, enable gene editing or modifications.

Coughing is the body's way of getting foreign substances and mucus out of the lungs and upper airway passages. However, sometimes coughs are severe enough to make breathing difficult, cause vomiting, or prevent rest. There are two kinds of cough medicines such as expectorants and suppressants. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the cough syrup market on the basis of product type, age group, distribution channel, and region. It includes revenue generated from the sale of cough syrups and not the consultation services provided by physicians.
