What’s on at MD&M East?

If you have been considering attending the Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) East event alongside 8000 advanced manufacturing professionals this summer, then discover more about the event below. It is not too late to register for what is sure to be an interesting event.

What is MD&M East?

MD&M East is the East coast's largest medtech event.

It offers professionals the chance to see the latest technologies and solutions within areas such as biocompatible materials, components, assembly, and contract manufacturing.

When is the event?

MD&M East is taking place in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, New York between June 11th and June 13th, 2019.

Why should I attend?

Many of the major companies involved in medtech will be exhibiting at the event.

Some of the exhibitors that will be there include:

The event is also held alongside five other shows; East Pack, Atlantic Design and Manufacturing, Automation Technology Expo (ATX) East, PLASTEC East and Quality Expo. One expo pass will provide you access to all six of these trade shows.

Additionally, the event will host the prestigious Medical Design and Excellence Awards (MDEAs) again this year. These awards will be presented to innovative companies within the medtech industry. The finalists will be announced in May, and the awards ceremony will take place on June 11th, 2019 in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, where the main event is taking place.

Previous winners of these awards within different categories in the last year include, the ‘Equashield Pro Pharmacy Robot’ by Equashield. This robot enables intravenous drug preparation which is normally conducted by humans in a hospital pharmacy to be conducted by a robot. This automated system will remove the human error element that currently exists within this practice.

Gold prize was also awarded to Willow, in collaboration with IDEO for the ‘Willow Breast Pump’. This is the first all-in-one breast pump that is able to fit inside a bra. It is hands free and therefore aims to reduce the impact breast feeding can have on a woman’s everyday life.

‘Sterrad Velocity Biological Indicator (BI) System’, is an Advanced Sterilisation Product (ASP) by Johnson & Johnson which was also a winner at the 2018 awards ceremony. The system works by a hydrogen peroxide BI confirming proper sterilisation of the reprocessed surgical instruments within 30 minutes. This is much faster than some other systems which can take up to 24 hours. The system provides automated record keeping, compliance checks, and on-screen instructions.

There will also be a medtech showcase taking place that will cover a wide range of topics including:

Within each hub there will be sessions throughout the event on its respective topic.
