The Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) is a reversible, long acting T-shaped device, which is inserted into uterus for contraception purposes. It prevents fertilization of eggs in the uterus and thus, helps to avoid pregnancy. IUCDs can provide contraception for 3 to12 years after insertion into the vagina, depending on type of ICUD and preference. IUCDs do not interfere in sexual intercourse or breastfeeding and can be used as an effective alternative to contraceptive pills. It can be inserted immediately after delivery or abortion. Women are able to retain fertility rapidly after its removal. IUCDs are widely used due to lower failure rates and cost effective nature for long-term use.

The Trauma fixation devices are used for treatment of internal injuries, such as dislocations, fractures, bruises and external injuries, burns, cuts, and others such injuries. Internal fixation devices are implanted into the body for the stabilization of severe fractures and dislocations, and deformity correction procedures. Whereas, external fixation devices are used to hold the bone in place by means of an external frame in cases of open fractures, severe soft tissue damage and burn injuries. These devices help to align fractured bones, prevent improper bone recovery, promote faster healing of external injuries, and complete repair of internal injuries. In the current market scenario, the increasing participation in sports opens up new avenues for trauma fixation devices market.

Pyrogen is a thermostable bacterial toxin that induces immunogenic response when administered parenterally.

Advanced wound care comprises products that are used to treat acute and chronic wounds, such as ulcers, burns and post-operative wounds. The advanced wound care products such as film and foam dressings, hydrogels, alginates and hydrocolloids keeps the wound hydrated to encourage healing without occluding the wound. Health care professionals are emphasizing on the importance of keeping a wound moderately damp and are prescribing advanced wound care products for more severe wounds such as amputations and deep laceration. This type of treatment is expensive, however, prominent due to its effectiveness and faster healing process. Besides healing, advanced wound care products have various advantages over conventional wound care products viz. constant temperature around the wound, regulate oxygen flow, provide barrier to bacterial & microbial penetration, reduces complications, and protect wound from infection.

A clinical chemistry analyzer is use to analyze blood serum, plasma, urine and other body fluids with the help of various measurement technologies such as photometric and colorimetric testing, ion-selective potentiometry, and latex agglutination. The chemical analyzers can be employed in small point-of-care clinics and high-throughput clinical labs to determine concentration of metabolites, proteins, sugars, and electrolytes and others. In this device, samples are first inserted in a slot or tray, programmed through a keypad, and results are displayed on a screen. The analyzers are available as bench top models, compact bedside models, and high-throughput floor-based units. Clinical analyzers are used to monitor diseases such as diabetes, testing for metabolic functions or cardiac markers, and drugs-of-abuse testing. Technological advancements in clinical chemistry analyzers enable users to obtain accurate results in less time.

Internal trauma fixation devices are mainly used in stabilization of critical fractures and dislocations, and deformity correction procedures.
