Please consider joining us at our MD&M (Medical Design and Manufacturing) conferences which are held regionally throughout the year.
The use of polymers in medical devices is expected to grow rapidly in the next decade. With applications as diverse as contact lenses to catheters, stents to joint replacements, it is of critical importance to stay on top of the latest developments in the use of polymers in medical devices. The possibilities for new product development using medical polymers are endless.
Understanding the latest regulatory updates is also of huge importance in such a heavily regulated industry. Changes in regulation can have a heavy impact on the daily operations of device manufacturers and failure to comply will have serious consequences.
Innovations in Medical Polymers will provide you with the latest in regulatory updates and their impact on the industry as well as showcasing the opportunities that the latest developments in polymer research provide your organisation.
Hear from industry leaders discuss topics including:
- Case studies of the successful use of polymers in a range of medical devices including resorbable and biocompatible polymers from industry and academia
- Understanding how the latest developments in sterilization will impact medical grade polymers and considerations for future R&D
- Establishing how advances in processing will allow you to further improve your use of polymers in medical devices
- Analyzing how the regulatory updates will impact you and your organisation and the factors you must consider in new product development
- Discussing the latest developments in coatings for medical polymers to improve lubricity, antimicrobial properties, biocompatibility and drug delivery, and how these can further improve your medical device product line
