In the dynamic world of healthcare, innovation is constant. One of the most exciting advancements in recent years is the emergence of drug-device combinations. These groundbreaking products, which marry the benefits of drugs with cutting-edge medical devices, are transforming patient care and opening new avenues in the global market.
