LONDON - May 9, 2018 - PRLog -- Visiongain' has launched a new defence report 50 Innovative Companies in Combat Medicine & Battlefield Healthcare 2018: Medical Products & Related Solutions, Distributors & Suppliers, Evacuation Products, Mobile Shelters & Medical Facilities

Effective performance from those involved in a military operation requires all to be in good health. In parallel, casualties always arise in the theatre of operations. Responding to these scenarios is a case of life and death in many instances. Having a range of high quality, reliable and cost effective solutions to battlefield injuries is of key interest to militaries and governments around the globe. Similarly, with trends towards casualty aversion continuing to rise, governments are growing increasingly risk averse.

The analyst of this report commented "Challenges such as increasing the shelf-life of products or lengthy research and development cycles with high attached costs all make competition within this market difficult. Militaries also have specific requirements for products which have to be met. In addition, it is arguable many basic products cannot be refined any further, something which previously may have been relied upon to increase the competitiveness of a product. For example, there are numerous companies now producing their own tourniquets, each with their own specific attributes which are claimed to be superior."

Leading companies featured in the report who are involved in combat medicine & battlefield healthcare include Philips, Zoll, 3M, Cardinal Health, Becton, Dickinson and Company, AutoMedx, CAE Inc., Chinook Medical Gear Inc., Combat Medical Systems, Composite Resources Inc. and others.
