MARKET DESCRIPTION
A medical device is an instrument, apparatus, implant, in vitro reagent or similar device used to diagnose, prevent or treat disease or other conditions. Several medical device technologies enhance the functions of medical devices, including highly sophisticated scanners and technologically complicated implantable products, such as artificial cochlear devices, as well as the most basic laboratory equipment.

According to estimates, there are more than 500,000 medical technologies currently available in roughly 20,000 generic groups. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are an estimated 1.5 million different medical devices, in more than 10,000 types of generic device groups available globally. The Global Medical Devices Nomenclature (GMDN) Agency has classified these into 16 product categories. The primary aim of any medical technology is to improve medical care, making it easier to improve the overall health of users or patients. With life spans increasing over the last few decades, the importance of better care and improved quality of life has become paramount.
