CBCT is a 3D medical imaging technique comprising an X-ray, which can be used for complex dental treatments. It helps dentists to evaluate diseases (endodontic and periodontics) in the jaw or teeth, to understand the bone structure of the maxillofacial region for surgery, and to evaluate soft tissues around the jaws for dental implants.

During physical activities, such as sports, knees face the maximum strain and are prone to more wear and tear. Therefore, knee protection is crucial while performing rigorous physical tasks. Knee pads are one of the measures to keep the knees comfortable and prevent injuries, abrasions, and pain. Knee pads are available in a wide variety and can be adopted as per the task they are being worn for. Knee pads reduce the severity of injuries to knee joints caused by hitting, crawling, kneeling, and skidding, but without obstructing the movement of the wearer. The primary element of a knee pad is the cushioning provided to prevent injuries.

At present, the market is dominated by Intuitive Surgical due to its da Vinci surgical system, though there is intense competition between Titan Medical that developed the SPORT surgical system and Intuitive Surgical. Titan Medical has a high market share in Europe, and it is expected to penetrate the US market by mid-2017 by getting approval for its SPORT surgical system. TransEnterix has developed the ALF-X robotic surgical system, which it acquired in September 2015 through the acquisition of a robotic division of SOFAR S.p.a worth $99.8 million. The company also developed TELELAP ALF-X surgical robotic system, a CE-marked device available in Europe.

As the world continues to move toward globalization, the international travels will keep increasing. This fuels the demand for travel vaccines as the prevalence of infectious diseases are specifically region prone, unlike that of other indications. As vaccines are largely used as a preventive measure against these known infectious diseases, the travelers are advised to follow the region-specific immunization plan. The market is growing because various government bodies have mandated the immunization of travelers visiting the infectious-prone areas with various types of vaccines. This, in turn, prevents the spread of infection and averts any chances of epidemic outbreaks.

Gastrointestinal stents consist of stents that include trans-hepatic, esophageal, biliary stents, pancreatic and duodenal stents. The stents are used during colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, GI bleeding, and other diseases. SEMSs are considered to be the most commonly used mesh cylindrical stents with large diameter to treat severe gastrointestinal conditions. The gastrointestinal stents are positioned under endoscopic view with fluoroscopic imaging guidance. The different types of stents used in gastrointestinal include esophageal stents, duodenal stents, and enteral colonic stents. Biliary stents are being used to treat biliary infection cholangitis and biliary decompression during benign and malignant conditions since the 1970s. The major obstructions in biliary stents include malignant and benign strictures, stenotic sphincters, obstructed endoprostheses, and bile duct stones
