Medtec Europe continues to play home to the industry's key innovators. MPN is on-site - tweet us at @mpn_magazine to share your stories and your show.
Medtec Europe is entering its 13th year and continues to provide an informative platform for those working within the medical device manufacturing industry. The event provides suppliers with the opportunity to meet with over 6,000 industry specific professionals, it hosts cutting-edge conference quality education and displays dozens of interactive features.
This year, Medtec brings a new Start-Up Academy where new businesses can showcase their latest innovation to potential partners from the medical device industry.
Some key exhibits at the show will include:
Mulitvac who will be presenting thermoforming packaging machines, traysealers, special chamber machines and labellers for packing small to medium-sized batches. All the models, which will be exhibited in the ‘medical packaging’ theme pavilion on Stand 7F10, will typify high levels of precision and flexibility.
LPKF will present a laser system that enables the creation of completely new product layouts for microfluidic parts (think ‘lab-on-a-chip’). The LPKF PrecisionWeld can create weld seams with a thickness of 100 µm and has positioning repeatability of 10 µm. Transparent components can be joined using the new LPKF ClearJoining technology. The focus of a 2µm laser beam lies exactly in the welding plane. An optimized clamping technology and an integrated camera system allow the detection of specially applied fiducial marks. This ensures a fast and secure production. Stand 5D41
Phillips-Medisize will present solutions for plastics products aimed at the medical device and diagnostics technologies to visitors during Medtec in Stuttgart. The exhibits will range from peristaltic pumps, titer plates and mixing injectors to complete MDD application sets, special drug delivery devices, dosing systems, disposable insulin pens, inhalers, bottles and closures, as well as sterile multi-chamber bags and test tubes. From the concept right through to the complete solution, from design to the sterile packaged finished product, Phillips-Medisize offers customers a complete service chain. Production is controlled across processes driven by highly prioritised quality assurance measure according to ISO 13485 and the applicable FDA and GMP standards (Good Manufacturing Practice). Stand 5B40
Arburg will present an application for processing liquid silicone (LSR) at the exhibition. An electric Allrounder will produce bellows used as a valve in medical test devices. This application is designed to showcase Arburg’s expertise and demonstrate the potential of the LSR material in medical technology, as well as to demonstrate that the clean room connection to the machine via an encapsulated conveyor belt is a cost-effective production solution.
