How Laser Innovations Are Driving Growth in the Medical Industries

Dynotech solutions: Establishing crucial supply chains for the best photonics, laser technology & devices globally in India for your health and well-being via the medical industry.

Light and lasers.

Doctors and medicinal practitioners have often utilised light in their therapies, diagnoses, & treatments. Examining a tissue, organ, or individual was necessary under conditions that enabled observation, manipulation and testing. Lasers are a form of technology that manipulates light emission: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Laser technology provides intense, focused, precise (extreme precision) energy towards focused tissues, organs, and cells. It is now commonly utilised in diagnosis and has found its way into the general inventory of the general practitioner. Individuals going for regular eye checkups are already well aware of the uses of lasers, even in essential examinations in these fields. Laser micromachining is heavily utilised in manufacturing and processing materials, many of which may be used for medical applications.

Doctors’ hospitals within the Indian subcontinent now utilise laser devices and technology for essential complex procedures.

What growth has the medical industry observed via the application of photonic technology? How are lasers utilised within the medical industry? What economies of scale have cutting-edge photonic technology applications enabled for the medical industry?

The medical industry:

The medical industry comprises doctors, patients, pharmaceutical industries (manufacturing, synthesis, testing, quality), and biotechnology.

NKT-Photonics: That is a very brief explanation or summary. Still, laser technology has impacted all areas, and thus, attempting to understand the observable and speculated/predicted effect of laser technology on the medical industry:

How Lasers are driving growth within the medical industry:

Novel procedures increasing the number of therapies, treatments, and laser treatments enable customisation within proceduresLaser innovations & developments enabled the creation of novel, new medical procedures that allowed procedures to be developed. That increased the number of available therapies and treatments. LASIK therapies
Diagnosis & DetectionPhotonic technology is being used for the diagnosis & detection of conditions:
Economies of scaleTreatments within the medical industry can benefit from laser technology through reduced costs for their therapies treatments, & increased revenue, yielding economies of scale.
Increased efficiency & outputLaser-based treatments like LASIK are faster and have increased efficiency and the number of treated individuals. High-power femtosecond laser: This is laser technology utilised for material processing and machining.
Increased patient satisfactionLaser devices and innovations are often noninvasive, and the consensus is that they are less harmful. In most cases of their application, they are claimed and preferred to prior treatments and techniques that relied on invasive, analogue, physical means.
Lowering the barrier to entry for medical treatment providers via reliance on devices and technology:An increased prevalence of laser technology and devices that implement it has effectively reduced the barrier to entry to the medical treatment field and medical industry.
Precision on tissues: applied to surgeriesLaser technology is precise, thus enabling therapies and treatments to continue with precision on tissues. Laser technology enables precision in procedures. Atom cooling and trapping are techniques utilised in laser technology applications for manufacturing.
Ability to focus on tissuesThe ability to focus on tissues is a driving factor in their applicability & effectiveness as a treatment.
Laser treatments & therapies may provide better resolution of the medical condition.LASIK provides immediate relief and even complete resolution in many cases. Laser lithotripsy is often preferred to standard lithotripsy. 
Pharmaceuticals: Quality control of medicines: Laser technology is now utilised in quality control processes for medicines, and laser and light technology are used in manufacturing and robotics/factory lines.
Potential research areas:Due to the precise, widespread use of lasers, the potential research areas to be explored, such as treatment, therapy, and diagnosis, with photonic technology, are research areas.

Case: LASIK treatment for high myopia.

Individuals afflicted with eye/corneal problems, myopia, or disorders that require corrective vision solutions such as glasses or contact lenses have often sought to correct them and enable living conditions without them. 

LASIK has become a commonplace procedure and almost a household name in India. Other laser-based procedures are gaining popularity. Prior to LASIK, individuals had to undergo scalpel-based treatments that were invasive, potentially risky/damaging, lengthy, and time-consuming.

LASIK treatment within the medical industry gained popularity & has become a mainstay across many metros within India. Though now taken as a mainstay of culture and taken for granted, upon its introduction, it was widely hailed as an incredible technology and a blessing. My personal experience as someone struggling with myopia was that it was a blessing and a revolutionary technology. Within various individuals, they often were not flooded by waves of people around them who had registered for the treatment.

Photonics, laser technology, devices, research and treatment drive growth in the medical industry.
