Technology, Equipment & Devices

Devices Containing Membranes

Better membrane, improved outcomes

Devices containing artificial membranes for the treatment of kidney disease lack the ability to replace or augment metabolic and endocrine functions, which are non-selective and biologically reactive.


Patient-Centric Modalities

Strategies for better implementation

Care providers must consider some key factors they need to balance for effective implementation of patient-centric modalities


Small is Beautiful

Nanotechnology for medical devices

Medical devices and their components are currently being scaled down to molecular levels and successfully applied in diagnostics and clinical therapies.


Life Sciences Industry

Converging for better care

Combination products have the potential to respond to the increase in patient needs in a way that may be more affordable, easier to use, less expensive, or more effective than current solutions.


Combination Products

Enabling localised care

Combination products will enable healthcare providers to treat diseases with localised drug delivery and fewer side effects.


Medical Devices

Going the generic way

With the application of the generic pharmaceutical model to off-patent devices, the availability of generic alternatives to branded medical devices presents an opportunity for a drastic reduction in healthcare costs.


CyberKnife Radiosurgery

An emerging surgical revolution

The constellation of technologies that make up a modern CyberKnife system enable radiosurgery to be delivered with sub-millimeter accuracy to static lesions and better than 2 mm accuracy to targets that move with respiration.


Networking Implanted Medical Devices

Ensuring effectiveness and security

Implanted medical devices present different security issues than traditional information systems, and require different security risk analysis and mitigation techniques


Medical Gloves

Going powder free

The amount of aero-allergence in areas where powdered gloves are worn can increase 5-10 fold when compared to those where only powder free gloves are used.


Partnerships and Innovation

The growth factors

Developing a product pipeline is being considered seriously and will be an essential factor for the growth of the Indian pharma market.

 

Biosimilars

What lies ahead?

Biosimilars will eventually bring down the cost of biological medicines and in doing so will expand the market.

 

 

 

 

Patient Monitoring

Non-invasive is the way

Non-invasive methods to monitor ventilation are valid surrogates for arterial blood gas analysis.
