Course in cooperation with Polyneers GmbH explains regulations and requirements for plastics used in medical devices
In the sensitive field of medical technology, the requirements for the materials used are of highest importance. A strict regulatory framework (Medical Grade Plastics) must be followed when selecting the right plastics for the specific applications. Here it is particularly important to know exactly which requirements on the plastic are to be evaluated in each individual case, where these requirements come from and, above all, how to proceed specifically in material selection and qualification. This is where the new SKZ course "Material selection for medical devices made of plastics" comes in.
"In this course, participants will learn which regulations and technical requirements apply to plastic materials for medical devices, how to proceed from regulatory requirements to product requirements and ultimately to the material requirements for a specific component. The participants benefit in particular from the many years of experience of the two experts Dr. Thomas Kremser and Giuseppe Fiandaca in this field and are provided with useful tools for becoming active in medical technology or expanding their knowledge," says Andreas Büttner, education manager for the Materials, Compounding and Extrusion department at SKZ.
"The compact 1-day course is aimed in particular at materials developers, product developers or project managers, but also purchasers or sales people. We are very much looking forward to familiarizing the participants with this topic using concrete applications from practice - because this is the best way to understand the complex correlations," adds Dr. Thomas Kremser, course leader together with Giuseppe Fiandaca and long-time specialists in the field of medical devices. The course in German language will be held for the first time on May 23, 2023 at the German Plastics Center (SKZ) in Würzburg.
