Syringes and needles are sterile devices used to inject solutions into the body. Syringes and needles are also used to isolate various types of body fluids, such as tissues from swollen joints and blood from veins. A syringe is made up of glass or plastic and shaped like a cylinder with a plunger at one end and an opening that attaches to a needle. Needles are hollow metal tube with a pointed tip.

Neurosurgery or neurological surgery is the medical area of expertise which is specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of the spinal cord, brain and peripheral nerves disorders. Some of the major disorders, such as aneurysms, hydrocephalus, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and pituitary and intracranial tumors, require neurosurgery for their treatment. These surgeries are carried out by specific neurosurgical products. For instance, hydrocephalus is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is treated by using aIntracranial shunts. Similarly, aneurysm, weakness in the wall of blood vessel of the brain, is treated by using surgical clips. AVM is characterized by abnormal connection between artery and vein is also treated by surgical clips.

Huber needles are hollow needles that have slant tips to make it easy to go through the skin. Huber needles are used in chemotherapy, drug delivery, transfusions and blood samplings through the implanted port septum which is surgically rooted into the skin. They come in several sizes to fit the patient. With a Huber needle, the patient does not have to endure multiple needle sticks. They also protect clinicians from needle stick injuries.

Cataract is the clouding of the eye lens. Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Intraocular lens is a synthetic artificial lens placed to replace natural lens. Intraocular lenses are used for the surgical treatment of cataract. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2010, approximately 20 million cataract surgeries were performed and are expected to reach approximately 32 million by 2020. Several types of intraocular lenses implants are available to improve vision. Monofocal intraocular lenses are best choice for limited budget. Whereas, premium intraocular lenses are specifically designed to reduce patients need for glasses. Tronic intraocular lenses, multifocal intraocular lenses and accommodating intraocular lenses are some of the premium intraocular lenses.

HIV-AIDS is a chronic disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV virus damages human immune system, which results weakness of immune system and loss ability to fight with organism that causes disease. HIV-AIDS most often spread through unprotected sex with HIV infected person. In addition, HIV-AIDS can also be spread from infected mother to child during pregnancy, infected blood and sharing needles with someone who has HIV-AIDS. Some of the symptoms of HIV include slight fever, swollen glands, muscle aches, headaches and fatigue. HIV-AIDS has no cure but there are treatments which help to reduce AIDS deaths. HIV-AIDS can be treated by nucleoside/ nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor, integrase inhibitor, HIV-1 protease inhibitor, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, pharmacokinetic enhancer and entry inhibitor. Some of the drugs for HIV -AIDS treatment include atripla, epzicom, prezista, truvada, kaletra, isentress, reyataz and viread. HIV testing and diagnostics include early detection, treatment swatching, On the basis of diagnosis HIV-AIDS market can be classified into HIV antibody assay, western blot, antigen-antibody immunoassay, HIV home-testing kit, rapid HIV antibody test, polymerase chain reaction test and HIV p24 antigen test.

Neurological devices industry is growing at a significant rate due to increase in the prevalence of neurological injuries and diseases. Neurological devices may be invasive in nature such as intracranial pressure monitors, which are used in serious cases. Non-invasive brain trauma monitoring devices refer to the devices that help to monitor neural and electrical activity and pressure enclosing the brain. In case of brain death, trauma brain injury, epilepsy and other such conditions, non-invasive brain trauma monitoring devices help to analyze the rate of flow of blood in arteries and veins in the brain. Non-invasive brain trauma monitoring devices market is growing at a significant rate due to increasing awareness and improvement in healthcare facilities. In addition, non-invasive brain trauma monitoring devices have made it possible for neurologists to measure brain health without being invasive. Non-invasive brain trauma monitoring devices help to get results fast and safely. In addition, they are easy to use and give accurate results.

Urology devices market is growing at a significant rate due to aging population, growing prevalence of urinary diseases and growing awareness about the availability of different types of urology devices. Urinary catheter refers to a urology device that is inserted into a patient's bladder to drain out urine. It is used in those cases where patients have lost their control over their urinary bladder. Urinary catheters are used in various medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis, post prostate or genitals surgery, spina bifida, urinary incontinence and retention and others. A urinary catheter may be made up of silicone, polyurethane or latex. The global urinary catheters market has been driven by new innovations in urinary catheterization procedure, leading to better results. Global catheters market can be segmented into straight catheter, condom catheter, indwelling catheter (also known as Foley catheter), suprapubic catheter and 3-way catheter.

Diabetes is the chronic condition associated with abnormally high level of glucose in the blood. Insufficient or non production of insulin in pancreas causes diabetes. Globally the incidence of diabetes is increasing significantly and it is becoming a major burden. It is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. It is diagnosed by blood glucose testing. Early detection through regular monitoring can improve the treatment and control of the disease. Glucose testing is to measure amount of in a sample of blood. Deviation in blood glucose level from the normal range results in disorders such as hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. There are various types of glucose tests such as fasting blood sugar, random blood sugar, two hour postprandial blood sugar, glycohemoglobin A1c and oral glucose tolerance test. Glucose testing is done to monitor treatment of diabetes, check for diabetes and pre diabetes and to determine abnormally low blood glucose level.

Infusion pumps are the medical devices that are used for delivering therapeutic drugs into patient's body. Various fluids such as saline solutions, plasma and dextrose can also be delivered by these devices. Global infusion pumps market has experienced a significant growth in past few years due to increasing patient pool and improvement in the healthcare facilities. Analgesic infusion pumps refer to the devices that are used for delivering analgesic drugs into the patient's body. Analgesic drugs provide relief from various disorders such as pneumonia, hypertension, post-operative pain, complex regional pain syndrome, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction and others. The global market for analgesic infusion pumps can be segmented into PCA Pumps (external analgesic pumps) and Intrathecal Pumps.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death across the globe. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test which records the electrical activity of the heart on the graph paper. ECG device detects and select electrical impulses generated by the polarization and depolarization of cardiac tissue and translate them into waveform. The ECG has 12-lead, out of which six electrodes are on the chest and one on each limb. ECG device helps cardiologists and physicians to diagnose cardiac abnormalities such as congenital heart defect, abnormal heart rhythm, poor blood supply to heart arteries, inflammation of the heart and enlargement of the heart. ECG is the first test done to check a person suffering from heart disease.
