See what happens when promising medical device designs meet real-world process, material, and scale-up challenges, with five key takeaways from technical experts at MPP East.

Lubricious polymer compounds are giving MedTech engineers another way to build low-friction performance directly into extruded tubing. Explore how these materials can create durable inner- and outer-surface lubricity while offering an alternative to traditional liners and post-extrusion coatings.

Women-owned business certification strengthens Chamfr’s ability to help medical device OEMs and CDMOs simplify early-stage sourcing and increase access to qualified suppliers committed to helping speed product development. 

PTFE alternatives are advancing, with MedTech companies developing credible, application-specific solutions. See what’s setting the bar for alternatives and why replacing PTFE is more complex than a simple material swap for catheter liners, ePTFE applications, coatings, and sheaths.

In catheter development and manufacturing, inconsistent heat shrink removal can increase operator dependence, scrap, rework, and risk to delicate assemblies. In this sponsored technical blog post, Junkosha explains how FEP based peelable heat shrink tubing, engineered for controlled linear peelability, helps R&D and manufacturing teams support more repeatable bonding, forming, and lamination processes from development through scaled production.
