Medical Laser Systems - A Global Update of Market Trends &
Opportunities
Published on November 2009

Report Summary

Growing use of lasers in surgical and ophthalmic applications, as well as higher number of cosmetic procedures, continues to drive
the medical lasers market. Prospects for laser application in cosmetic skin resurfacing appear all the more brighter with growing
desire for 'preservation of youth' among the baby boomer generation. This segment of the population is prepared to spend more of its
disposable income on solutions that delay the aging process.

Lasers are increasingly being used as powerful experimental tools for the treatment of strokes. The process of laser tissue welding
and soldering, still undergoing research, offers a viable option to conventional sutures. Other crucial and promising emergent medical
laser applications and technologies receiving much attention include treatment of skin disorders such as psoriasis and acne.
Increasing pressure from manufacturers seeking solutions to growing requirements for enhanced precision, quality, speed,
throughout, flexibility, automation and reduced maintenance and operating expenditure are driving the market.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Medical Laser Systems: A Global Update of Market Trends &
Opportunities" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market
analyses.
