An otoscope is defined as a medical device that is designed to detect disorders associated with the ear and examine the hearing environment of the patient. Examination of the inner ear cavity and analysis of its function is one of the major tasks of audiologists. An otoscope device helps audiologists examine the ear canal and eardrum and physically diagnose ear-related conditions such as ear pain, discharge, irritation, infection, and redness.

An ostomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to create an opening in the abdomen to excrete waste products (feces and urine). Such surgical openings in the abdomen are known as artificial stoma. Based on the complications, artificial stomas can be temporary or permanent. People who undergo temporary ostomy procedures also undergo therapeutic procedures, which help to recover the intestine. In such cases, stomas can be reversed. In both temporary and permanent ostomy procedures, ostomy bags are attached to the stoma to collect the waste products. To enhance the performance and increase the comfort level, ostomy care accessories are used, which help to prevent leakage, prevent infection and skin rashes, and reduce the odor of wastes in ostomy bags.

Pharmaceutical continuous manufacturing is an innovative approach to drug production that involves the uninterrupted and sequential processing of raw materials into pharmaceutical products. Unlike traditional batch manufacturing, it eliminates interruptions, reduces production time, and offers enhanced quality control. Continuous manufacturing is a more efficient and cost-effective method that enhances drug consistency and helps the pharmaceutical industry respond more rapidly to market demands and regulatory changes.

A medical tubing expander is a specialized device utilized throughout the healthcare industry to reshape or enlarge medical tubing. It is intended to increase the inner diameter of a variety of medical tubes, including catheters and endotracheal tubes, to improve their flexibility and utility. Medical professionals need medical tubing expanders because they facilitate the insertion of these tubes and improve their functionality during a variety of medical operations, improving patient care and safety in the process.

The global medical mattresses market is the industry that produces, distributes, and sells mattresses specifically designed to meet the needs of patients with medical conditions that require bed rest or bedridden individuals. The mattresses are designed to be comfortable, supportive, and pressure-relieving and are available in a variety of materials, including foam, air, alternating pressure, water, and gel. This market caters to a range of healthcare settings, from hospitals to clinics to home healthcare settings to rehabilitation centers and serves patients of all ages and medical conditions.

A ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that has gained popularity for its potential to promote weight loss and offer various health benefits. The key principle of a ketogenic diet is to significantly reduce carbohydrate intake while increasing fat consumption. This shift in macronutrient ratios induces a metabolic state called ketosis, where the body primarily uses fat for energy instead of carbohydrates.

A diagnostic electrocardiograph (ECG) is a medical instrument that processes the electrical impulses sent by two or more ECG electrodes and creates a visual representation of the electrical signals the heart produces.

Holter monitors are battery-operated portable devices that measure and record the heart’s activity continuously for 24 to 48 hours or a month or longer depending on the patient’s condition.

Hematology analyzers and reagents are used for the quantification of blood and blood components such as white blood cell count, RBC count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count, and neutrophil count to check for abnormalities. They count and characterize blood cells for disease detection and monitoring.

Interventional spine procedures are used to treat painful spinal conditions. Interventional treatment options are often more efficient and effective than traditional therapy for spinal (back and neck) pain. The new techniques are excellent minimally invasive alternatives to conventional surgery. Lumbar disc disease, sacroiliac joint, and degenerative lumbar facet joint pain account for nearly 70% of the cases of lower back pain. Osteoporosis is a common disease characterized by low back pain and deterioration of bone tissue, which makes the bone fragile and susceptible to fracture. Osteoporosis is also the primary cause of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) in senior citizens. Vertebral collapse is caused by many complications, particularly osteoporosis, metastatic disease, and hemangiomas. VCFs cause impaired mobility, severe acute and chronic pain, and reduced quality of life. Herniated disc diseases, at times, lead to poor appetite and cardiopulmonary function and increase the risk of mortality. Degenerative disc disease is more common in the older population, and around 25% of post-menopausal women suffer from it during their lifetime. 70%-80% of vertebral fractures occur near the thoracolumbar region. Worldwide, an estimated 750,000 people have been affected by VCFs annually. The prevalence of low back pain increases with age, and an estimated 40% of women aged above 80 are affected.
