How Laser Innovations Are Driving Growth in the Medical Industry.

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

Light and lasers.

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

Doctors, hospitals within the Indian subcontinent now utilize laser devices and technology for basic to complex procedures.

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

The medical industry:

In general the medical industry can be summarized as consisting of practitioners, doctors, patients, pharmaceutical industry (manufacturing, synthesis, testing, quality), biotechnology.

NKT-Photonics: That is a very brief explanation or summary but 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 resulting in increase in the number of therapies, treatments, laser treatments enables customization within proceduresLaser innovations & developments enabled creation of novel, new medical procedures that allowed procedures to be developed. That increased the number of available therapies, treatments. LASIK therapies
Diagnosis & detectionPhotonic technology is being used for diagnosis & detection of conditions: 
Economies of scaleTreatments within the medical industry can potentially 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 number of treated individuals. High power femtosecond laser: laser technology utilised for material processing and machining.
Increased patient satisfactionLaser devices and innovations are often non-invasive,  & overall consensus is they aren’t as harmful. In the majority of the cases of their application, they are claimed & 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 the 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 & treatments to continue with precision on tissues. Laser technology enables precision in procedures. Atom cooling and trapping: 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 treatment.
Laser treatments & therapies may provide better resolution of the medical condition.LASIK provides immediate relief and even full resolution in many cases.  Laser lithotripsy:is often preferred to standard lithotripsy.
Pharmaceuticals: Quality control of medicines: laser technology is now utilized in quality control processes manufacturing medicines, laser technology and light technology is 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 exist: treatment, therapy, diagnosis, with photonic technology are research areas. 

Case: LASIK treatment for high myopia.

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

In India, LASIK has become a commonplace procedure and almost a household name. Other laser bound procedures are gaining popularity. Prior to LASIK, individuals had to undergo scalpel based treatments that were invasive, and potentially risky/damaging, lengthy & 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, and laser technology, devices, research and treatment, are driving growth in the medical industry.At Dynotech, we enable the best technology among photonics and lasers, within the global markets to be accessed within India, such as the UV Nanosecond laser.
