Materials and Processes for Medical Devices 2008:
Opportunities for Next-Generation Implants
August 5-7, 2008 - Cleveland, Ohio
Biomedical engineers, device designers, materials scientists and
engineers as well as surgeons and clinicians will gather in Cleveland
this August for a unique forum hosted by Cleveland Clinic and ASM
International, the world's leading materials society.
The study of
biomaterials and medical devices necessitates dialogue between experts
from a wide range of disciplines. Learn about successes – and failures –
from the innovators who envision, create and apply devices for:
• Cardiovascular
• Orthopaedic
• Neurological
• Pulmonary
Engineers who know
where medical devices are going will answer questions from their
knowledge of new technological developments regarding materials and
processes. They will describe the design and manufacturing challenges
involved in the selection and applications of materials and coatings,
including issues like manufacturability, reliability and affordability.
Surgeons and
clinicians understand today’s challenges as they strive to improve
patient care through less invasive procedures and superior device
quality and performance. They will provide their perspectives and
specific clinical examples of cardiovascular, orthopaedic, neurological
and pulmonary devices.
