TheMedical Plastics Conference to return to Guangzhou with advance technologiesand solutions

Entering its third edition, the medical plasticsconference covers topics comprehensively – from new materials applications,such as “Innovative High Heat Polycarbonate for Medical Device ManufacturingIndustry” by Covestro to manufacturing solutions to best practices of end - userenterprises. Some of the heavyweight guests include KraussMaffei, who will talkabout special cleanroom requirement forinjection moulding machines and will feature Netstal turnkey solutions; Arburg will provide information on applications in the medical industry; TianjinPlastics Research Institute will dig into breakthrough technologies of Bioplastics.What’s more, guests from leading end - user markets will share their insightsfrom their viewpoints.  For example,Czuba Enterprises will talk about implantable device development - from product design,material selection to production;Bemis will share with audiences their practical medical packaging solutions.

"Asthe modern society expands the reach of its benefits to the most remote partsof our populated world, medical devices must be able to support healthcaredelivery within the limitations of local infrastructures.  Designing ‘intelligent’ medical devices cansignificantly improve the product development lead time and reduce costs. Forexample, specialty implantable device that was designed by polymer chemists,plastics engineers and genetic bio-scientists is used as a virtual internalorgan replacement, and is sometimes called an ‘artificial organ’,” said Mr. LenCzuba, President of Czuba Enterprises.
