Industry experts will address issues such as medical tubing measurement and quality control, optimization of profile dies for multi-lumen extrusion and the science of cutting medical tubing with minimal particulates.
The event is designed to provide medical device engineers with the latest technical information on medical polymers, compounding technology, material selection and design as well as regulatory requirements.
“Together, we become the market-leading global extrusion systems and services provider to a world-class customer base,” said Jim Murphy, President and CEO, Davis-Standard (Pawcatuck, CT).
Tom Flannery, Business Development Director, Injection Molding & Assembly, shares insights on the company’s vision and the opportunities and challenges it faces as a supplier to the medical device industry.
