The Medical Fluid Bags 2018 conference, which takes place on 21-22 June in Cologne, Germany, will examine the latest advances in the design and production of polymer bags and pouches for fluid containment in a diverse range of medical applications. Organised by AMI, it will be the first European
conference focused on this subject and will follow on from the debut Medical Fluid Bags event which was held in Boston, MA, USA last year. The conference will cover new developments in this dynamic market including plastics and addi- tives options, film calendaring and extrusion technologies, plus bag production techniques. Expert speakers will look at design trends and new market opportunities. They will also address critical issues such as product testing and compliance requirements. The scope of the conference will cover the
broad range of medical applications where fluid bags and pouches play a vitally important role. These include blood bags, intravenous bags, nutrition bags, collection bags, irrigation bags, drain bags, and mixing containers.
