The intracranial devices market is growing at a significant rate due to the increasing prevalence of intracranial disorders, which may be caused due to various factors such as genetic disorders and accidents. Intracranial devices can be classified into various categories such as craniomaxillofacial implants, intracranial stents, and others. Endovascular treatment is widely used for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms (ruptured or unruptured). An intracranial stent refers to a tubular structure that is placed inside the canal, duct, or blood vessel. It is used to provide relief from obstruction. It allows continuous flow of the fluid. On the basis of design, intracranial stents can be segmented into open-cell and closed-cell. On the basis of type, intracranial stents may be classified into Neuroform, Solitaire, Enterprise, Leo Plus, and Wingspan. Physical features, dimensions, and functional characteristics vary between different types of intracranial stents. Wingspan is widely used for the treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic diseases; whereas, Neuroform, Solitaire, Enterprise, and Leo Plus assist in coiling. Intracranial stents market is growing at a significant rate due to the increasing prevalence of intracranial disorders, which are caused by the blockage of vessels. In addition, government initiatives and growing awareness in the field are driving the market for intracranial stents. However, factors such as high treatment costs and lack of skilled professionals for performing the surgery, restrain the growth of the market.

Blood disorders are caused due to lack of blood components. These components include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Anemia, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia are some of the common blood disorders. Some of the common symptoms of blood diseases include fatigue, headache, weakness, fever, infections, and bleeding.Acquired orphan blood disease is a type of rare blood disorder, which occurs due to the presence of insufficient amount of red blood cells in the blood. This disease is characterized by the body's inability to produce red blood cells. Moreover, improper functioning of bone marrow also leads to lack of red blood cells in blood, which in turn results in a decrease in platelet numbers. This decrease in platelet number causes anemia and thrombosis. Anemia is a blood condition characterized by less number of red blood cells. Loss of blood is the commonest cause of anemia and it further results in chronic outcomes. Thrombosis refers to the formation of blood clot in blood vessels. Some of the common types of orphan blood disease, which lead to acquired orphan blood diseases, include Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), Myelofibrosis (MF), and Polycythemia Vera (PV). PNH is a common blood disease characterized by severe anemia. Some of the available treatment options for acquired orphan blood disease include medication, bone marrow transplant, blood transfusion, and iron therapy.

Hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder characterized by very high levels of cholesterol in the blood. Hypercholesterolemia, also termed as dyslipidemia, is a form of hyperlipidemia and hyperlipoproteinemia in the body. Presence of low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) or bad cholesterol in the blood, may lead to cardiovascular diseases. Hypercholesterolemia is caused due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Environmental factors include excessive diet intake and obesity. In case of genetic factors, the number of copies of the gene determines the severity of the disease. People with the homozygous form (two copies of the gene) generally suffer from severe cardiovascular diseases during childhood, while those with the heterozygous form (with a single copy of the gene) suffer from heart diseases in their 30s or 40s. The hypercholesterolemia treatment market is growing at a significant rate due to technological advancements in this field as well as the growing awareness about different cardiovascular diseases and the availability of their treatment options. Cholesterol is measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) of blood. Treatment for hypercholesterolemia includes intake of statins and switching to a healthy lifestyle.

Disposable medical device sensors are portable scanning devices, which are mainly used for patient monitoring and diagnosis of diseases. These sensors are used to measure breathing rates, heart rates, and body temperature. Moreover, disposable medical device sensors play a vital role in the identification of disease causing microbes such as virus, bacteria, and fungi.

Human augmentation, also known as Human 2.0, refers to technologies that are used for bringing physical improvement in the integral parts of the human body. Technological advancements in IT have led to the introduction of a greater variety of implants and other technologies, which are used for human augmentation. In addition, genetic engineered human technologies also play an important role in the treatment of various diseases and disabilities.

Medical implants are artificial devices or tissues, which are used to replace damaged biological structures or enhance an existing biological structure. Some of the implants are made from skin, bone, or other body tissues. Others are made from metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. Medical implants can be permanent or can be taken out when they are no longer needed. There are some risks and complications associated with medical implantation, such as infections, surgical risks, and implant failure. Medical implants are used in areas such as cardiovascular, orthopedic, neurological disorders, dental, and others. Rising aging population and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases are some of the major driving factors for the medical implants market. Aged people are more susceptible to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, orthopedic disorders, endovascular diseases, and dental disorders, this being the major users of medical implants, such as kidney and heart implants, artificial joints implants, and eye implants.

Growth factors are group of proteins, which play an important role in the stimulation of cellular differentiation and cell division in the human body. There are different kinds of growth factors present in the human body. Some of the major growth factors include insulin-like growth factors, platelet-derived growth factors, epidermal growth factors, and nerve growth factor. Moreover, some cytokines, such as small proteins secreted by one cell to regulate the function of another cell, also act as growth factors.

Dental imaging is a process of creation of a high quality images for the diagnosis of dental problems. Dental imaging technologies help dentists to diagnose dental diseases by providing actual and visual images of the dental problems such as hidden dental structure, cavities, bone loss, and oral malignant melanoma. Radiography is a valuable imaging modality and diagnostic tool that helps in clinical examination of dental problems. Radiographs are developed with image sensor technologies such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), panoramic, cephalometric, and intra-oral dental imaging. Dental cone beam computed tomography is a special type of X-ray machine, which is used instead of regular dental or facial X-rays. Technological advancements in dental imaging technologies and growing elderly population are some of the major factors driving the growth of the dental imaging market. Some of the major digital dental imaging techniques include intra-oral radiography, panoramic radiography, cephalometric radiography, tomography, intra-oral photography, extra-oral photography, and surgical microscopy.

Metabolism is a chemical reaction and physical process that involves maintenance of the living state, such as breathing, blood circulation, contraction of muscles, digestion of food and nutrients, elimination of wastes such as urine, controlling body temperature, and functioning of brain and nerves of the organism. It is a pathway that begins with a sequence of chemical reactions with a specific molecule and ends with a product with the help of specific enzyme. Enzymes are vital to metabolism as they allow the organism to drive reactions for required energy. It is divided into two categories, i.e. catabolism and anabolism.
