Title Date Start Time Duration Register Getting Material Selection Right the First Time
Modern medical device design demands strategic material selection from the outset due to market pressures and regulations. Dr. Gavin Braithwaite, Cambridge Polymer Group's CEO, explores key forces impacting medical device design and material choice.
-Iterative development of conventional devices
-Influence of market trends and regulations
-Historical example of orthopedic implants
-Risks of relying solely on traditional specifications
-Importance of early material science expertise
This webinar will identify emerging forces that can disrupt development, including:
-EU MDR and regulatory changes
-Manufacturing trends (e.g., ethylene oxide sterilization alternatives)
-Miniaturization impacts on material properties
-Combination device challenges
-Unique requirements of degradable materials and hydrogels
Attendees will gain valuable insights into how to think about material selection and what considerations must be accounted for outside of the standard specification sheet.
Learn how to select the right material – the first time around.
