Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c8bc5d/medical_fiber_opti) has announced the addition of the "Medical Fiber Optics - A World Market Analysis" report to their offering.
Fiber optics work on the principle of total internal reflection, in which light is enclosed in an element encased by glass in air of low refractive index. Although, the basic technology remains the same, present day glass fibers are much more tensile, cost efficient and effective. The ongoing progress in the field of medical fiber optics has led to the development of inexpensive lasers for photodynamic therapy, fiber miniaturization, and complex data paths. The need for minimally invasive, small and efficient optical fibers is fast gaining importance with the growing need for minimally invasive surgery and diagnostics.
These and other market data and trends are presented in "Medical Fiber Optics: A World Market Analysis" by BizAcumen, Inc. This report is designed to be the most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses
