Biomedical OEM Lasers Meet Trends in Therapeutics
Lasers service a diverse range of biomedical applications, ranging from cosmetic fat removal and eyesight-saving photocoagulation to clinical blood cell counting. The major market driver for medical therapeutics has long been the aging “baby boomer” population of the Western regions of the world. The demands of this demographic have included medically necessary treatments, as well as aesthetic and other elective procedures. But today, an increasingly affluent and
