Addressing the need for medical grade plastics

Albis explains its offering at Med-Tech Innovation Expo 2023.

ALBIS is thrilled to be exhibiting again at Med-Tech Innovation Expo. Our UK and Ireland specialist team, under the guise of Healthcare Business Development Manager Jo Belshaw and Healthcare Focused Applications Development Engineer Mark Tibbetts, will be on hand to talk to you about your Medical Grade Plastics (MGP) needs.

ALBIS MedPharmPlast Europe is involved with BFS IOA and VDI and has been supplying healthcare manufacturers for decades. This means we truly understand how the market has changed and the challenges our clients and their customers face. While looking for materials that offer the right technical characteristics along with a suitable service and support package.

As we see people taking control of their health and well-being and the healthcare industry embracing the use of technology, the use of wearables and home testing is growing incredibly rapidly. Plastics are ideal for such devices as they are designed for ease of use with patient safety in mind.

Medical device regulations have been bundling regulatory, development and quality teams for many years. However, as the final submission date for technical files approaches, the focus may shift to new products and next-generation equipment, even with the extension of current certificate verification times.

NHS England has helped to awaken the need for sustainability in healthcare here in the UK. With the industry contributing to the same level of emissions as in the largest industrialized countries, it is time to look at downscaling existing equipment solutions and bringing sustainability to new product design.

ALBIS has a range of plastics solutions from leading manufacturers Alphagary, BASF, Covestro, INEOS Styrolution, LyondellBasell, MOCOM, SK Chemicals and Solvay. Having these partners gives us a wide range of MGP for medical device, pharmaceutical packaging and diagnostic applications. We can find the right solution for your project whether your focus is aesthetics, mechanical properties, chemical resistance, or a more durable polymer for your project. We are here to discuss your needs and provide unbiased advice on which material might work for you.

at 8^th June Jo Belshaw will give a presentation about the challenges of material selection within the design development and procurement process by looking at the process from different perspectives.

So, whether you are looking to make changes to existing equipment to meet your sustainability goals, have problems to solve or an entirely new project to meet requirements for MDR/IVDR, Albis Med-Tech Innovation will be displayed at the expo Stand A38. Register for free at www.med-techexpo.com
