MEDICAL TUBING
6 -7 June 2017, Maritim Hotel, Cologne, Germany
Medical tubing and catheters play a critical role in a huge variety of healthcare applications, and demand is growing thanks to factors such as an aging population and moves towards less invasive medical procedures.
There are a huge variety of polymer options available for medical tubing production including flexible vinyl compounds, thermoplastic elastomers,
thermoplastic urethanes, polyamides, polyimides, polyolefins, silicones, PEEK and PEBA.
competition is strong and selecting the optimum polymer grade to meet requirements such as flexibility, clarity, kink-resistance, dimensional stability, biocompatibility and cost-reduction can present a considerable challenge. At the Medical Tubing 2017 conference, leading experts will discuss how extrusion technologies are being developed and refined to meet these considerable challenges.
In addition, exciting new developments in additives and the latest compound formulations are bringing added functionality, increased performance and improved biocompatibility to medical tubing products. Examples include antimicrobial, radiopaque, nanocomposite, lubricious and color-coded compounds. On the design and production front, tubing configurations are becoming more complex, including increasingly sophisticated multi-layer, multi-lumen and micro-bore designs. These have to be produced to extremely tight tolerances and at higher throughputs to deliver cost efficiencies.
Medical Tubing 2017 will address the latest tubing and catheter developments for a wide range of medical requirements including intravenous,
infusion, dialysis, respiratory, feeding, and drainage
applications. It will also examine the latest standards and certification requirements in this heavily regulated sector. In addition to two days of
networking opportunities with key players from throughout the medical tubing supply chain.
