Medical Laser Market on the Rise
Minimally invasive laser surgery is growing in use and is preferred for many procedures because lasers can reach areas where access is difficult with traditional surgical methods. The technique involves practically no incisions, and healing is much faster. Not surprisingly, with the use of laser-based surgery expanding in the practice of urology, aesthetic procedures, ophthalmology, cardiology and other specialties, the market is on an upswing across the globe. A recently released study by...
