Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species. It prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction and thus causes flaccid paralysis. Botulinum toxin is widely used in medical therapeutics for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions such as cervical dystonia,...

The global catheter market is a crucial part of modern medical technology, facilitating minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment procedures. Catheters are thin tube-like medical devices that are inserted into a body cavity, duct or vessel to allow drainage, administration of fluids or gases, or access by surgical instruments. Common uses for catheters include urinary tract drainage,...

Cell culture is the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions outside of their natural environment. It generally involves the growth of cells derived from animal or plant tissues in an artificial medium containing essential nutrients. Cell culture enables researchers to study the behavior of living cells in a controlled synthetic environment. Such in vitro studies aid in...

The clear aligners market is evolving rapidly with the growing demand for invisible and comfortable orthodontic treatment options. Clear aligners straighten teeth using a series of virtually invisible, removable aligner trays that gradually shift teeth into alignment. This non-invasive technology is pain-free and discreet compared to metal braces. Clear aligners are suitable for treating minor...

The fitness trackers market involves devices that track and monitor various fitness and health metrics such as sleep, calories burned, steps taken, heart rate, and more. Fitness trackers are wrist-worn devices that allow users to continuously monitor their fitness activities and exercise programs. They help users in attaining fitness goals by tracking and motivating them to stay active. Key...

What is it?A precision coreal cutter is a specialized surgical instrument used in LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) eye surgery to create a thin flap in the cornea. This flap is gently folded back to expose the underlying corneal tissue so it can be sculpted by an excimer laser to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. After laser treatment,...

Gas chromatography is a technique used for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. It relies on the partitioning of analytes between the mobile and stationary phases and is commonly used for analyzing volatile organic compounds commonly found in petrochemicals, perfumes, essential oils and pollutant mixtures. The technique provides high resolution and...

Foley catheters are hollow, flexible tubes used to drain and collect urine from the bladder. They are inserted through the urethra into the bladder, and remain there until no longer needed. Foley catheters are indicated for patients who have limited mobility or undergo surgical procedures requiring anesthesia. They help manage urinary incontinence, empty the bladder before and after surgery,...

Genetic testing is used to detect mutations, chromosomes or genes that are associated with health-related risks and can play a role in diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to genetic disorders. Rising prevalence of genetic disorders worldwide is fueling the demand for genetic testing. The Global Genetic Testing Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 18.24 Billion in 2024 and is expected to...

The guidewires market provides tools that help physicians perform minimally invasive procedures safely and effectively. Guidewires are thin, flexible wires that are threaded through blood vessels or other narrow openings to aid in the placement of medical devices such as stents, balloons, and catheters. Some key uses of guidewires include angioplasty, angiography, balloon sinuplasty, and stent...
