Orthopedic orthotics is a specialized medical field that involves construction and designing orthosisbrace, splint, and other artificial external devices used to support the spine or limbs or to assist/prevent relative movements. Orthotic devices are commonly used to treat various conditions of the upper and lower extremities. In addition, they are frequently used to treat patients with spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, and multiple sclerosis. Furthermore, they aid in recovery of patients suffering through congenital conditions, trauma injury, postoperative, osteoarthritis care, and other conditions.

The medical linear accelerator (LINAC) is a high-energy X-ray machine used for the treatment of deep-seated cancers by using high-energy photons. Medical LINACs accelerate electrons using a tuned-cavity waveguide, in which the radiofrequency (RF) power creates a standing wave. This device is most commonly used for external beam radiation treatments for patients suffering from cancer. It emits high-energy X-rays or electrons that are targeted towards the tumor-affected region.

Air Treatment Products Market consists of certain devices, which remove contaminants from the air in a room. These products cleanse the air by removing smog, particulate matters, and micro-organisms to make it clean and breathable as required. Air treatment products are beneficial for people suffering from breathing ailments such as allergy and asthma, and helps reduce or eliminate second-hand tobacco smoke. The products such as humidifiers and dehumidifiers also adjust moisture level to contain the growth of micro-organisms.

Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is the steady state pressure concealed within the abdominal cavity. Intra-abdominal pressure measurement devices (IPMD) are used to measure IAP so as to identify individuals at the risk of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). IAH & ACS can cause mortality and morbidity due to cardiac output, altered respiratory mechanics, and reduced venous return. This results in impaired hepatic blood flow, respiratory failure, poor splanchnic perfusion, increased intracranial pressure, renal failure and end organ dysfunction and other potential problems. Therefore, early recognition and treatment of IAH & ACS using IPMDs is essential to improve morbidity and mortality among patients.

Intelligent hearing protection devices (IHPDs) minimize noise exposure level and the risk of hearing loss, especially in extreme noise environments and remote work sites. However, understanding communications in extreme noise and at work sites is challenging while wearing hearing protection. Thus, with extreme protection a worker cannot hear and is vulnerable to other safety hazards, whereas inadequately protected workers are at a higher risk for noise-induced hearing loss. Therefore, intelligent hearing protection is essential to safeguard working professionals, provide situational awareness, and to streamline the process flow.

Anti-malarial drugs are medications used for the treatment and prevention of malaria infection. They are also known as anti-malarials. These drugs are used for routine intermittent treatment of specific groups in endemic regions. Anti-malarial drugs are also used for prevention of infection in individuals who travel or visit a malaria-endemic region. Efficacious antimalarial therapy not only reduces the morbidity and mortality of malaria, but also reduces the risk of resistance to antimalarial drugs.

Tissue engineering is a technique used to restore, maintain, and improve damaged tissues and organs. It develops functional tissues as an alternative to natural ones by using a combination of scaffolds, biologically active molecules, and cells. The skin substitutes are developed using human tissue or non-human tissue, or a combination of both. This technique is commonly used to treat burns, acute wounds, and chronic wounds.

Tinea pedis is a foot infection caused by dermatophyte fungus such as Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Epidermophyton floccosum, and can spread to toenails and hands. These fungi thrive in warm, humid conditions and are transmitted through direct contact with an infected person. Tinea pedis is more commonly found in tropic and subtropical countries. Some of the clinical symptoms of tinea pedis are maceration, visible fissuring, and scaling in the interdigital areas of hands and feet. Tinea pedis can be treated using topical antifungals in mildly infected cases; whereas in severe cases require oral antifungal treatments.

Medical ceramic ball head is the latest technology used for hip replacement. These surgical procedures are conducted by replacing the hip joint with artificial prosthetic implant to treat arthritis and several physical hip joint injuries and hip fractures. There is a rise in the use of ceramics as ball heads due to the hard and durable nature of the material. In addition, these are non-toxic and nature and does not cause any side-effect in human body. These ceramic ball heads are usually used for two types of hip replacement procedureship surface and total hip replacement surgery.
