Technological and material innovations

The medical technology industry is constantly changing, driven by innovations in materials science and processing technologies. Innovative materials open up new possibilities for the development of medical products that are safer, more effective and more cost-effective.

Whether discussion panels or lectures - thanks to the various offerings at COMPAMED, you were able to find out live on site how the latest developments in innovative materials can shape the future of medical technology. COMPAMED shed light for you on the diverse possibilities that materials such as glass, metal, plastics and adhesives as well as bio- and nanomaterials offer for the medical technology supply industry.

COMPAMED showed the advantages of...

• Glass: Glass plays an important role in medical technology due to its biocompatible properties, transparency and chemical resistance. It is used for a variety of applications, including implants, lenses and laboratory glassware.

• Metal: Metals and alloys are indispensable materials in medical technology as they offer high strength, rigidity and corrosion resistance. They are used for implants, surgical instruments and medical device housings.

• Adhesives: Adhesives are indispensable in medical technology for bonding different materials. They must be biocompatible, strong and durable.

• Plastics: Plastics are used in medical technology due to their versatility, light weight and biocompatibility. They are used for a variety of applications, including catheters, cannulas and prostheses.
