Seminar: Fantastic Plastics

– a guided tour from concept to product launch

Do you work with development in medical technology?

Plastic-based medical devices extend, enhance and save lives in unique ways. But when it comes to plastic medical devices, there are many aspects to consider, and a lot of pitfalls on the road from idea to successful sales.

Do you have an idea for a medical device?

The seminar is aimed at providing you with tips and examples of practical projects based on our wide experience of successful projects. There will also be an opportunity for discussion and questions after the review.

Among other things, we will review the following:

• Why you should “kill your darlings” in the concept phase

• What to think about before classifying a product and choosing the sterilisation method

• How your product design affects the possibility of optimal production
