Gamma probes are devices utilized for the detection of radiations of patients. The function is similar to the high and small directional Geiger counter. The designs of the devices are such that they can be used for surgical purposes. Surgeons use gamma probe devices to llok for tumors, tissue lymph nodes, and parathyroid glands in the body. They can also be used to create a small incision and help to achieve confidence in locating the tissues. In addition, gamma probe are hand-held devices used for intraocular after interstitial injection of radionuclides. Sentinel nodes have been growing at a high rate in the past decade. It began with the breast cancer sentinel node staging and melanoma sentinel node surgical search, which are considered as standards of care. Furthermore, innovative applications are being upgraded, such as intra-operative detection of cancerous tissue and parathyroid direct detection, by utilizing tumor-seeking radiopharmaceuticals.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 scenario analysis:

• To take care of the infected population, the demand for medical supplies is increasing. Respiratory support devices, such as atomizer, life-support machine, oxygen generator, and monitor, are among the majorly used medical devices in primary clinical treatment. 
• Moreover, COVID-19 has led to a huge surge in demand for medical supplies such as personal protective equipment including masks, gloves, and protective eyeglasses. With rise in the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide, the need for medical supplies keeps on rising both from healthcare professionals and civil populations for precautionary measures. 
• Manufacturers of these products have a chance to capitalize on this increased demand for medical supplies to ensure adequate and continuous supply of personal protective equipment in the market.
• Attributed to such factors, COVID-19 is expected to have a significant impact on the gamma probe device market.
