If you have anything to do with the materials world, you’ll want to be in Minneapolis, April 6-7, for the first-ever Medical Silicone Conference. The trends-driven conference program promises pertinent information for suppliers, compounders, processors, and device makers. Industry experts from Shin-Etsu, Phillips Plastics, NuSil Technology, Milliken and Company, SSF, ProMed Pharma, Sigma Plastic Services, and Roembke Manufacturing & Design will present on the following:

• Silicones used in long-term implantable devices
• Antimicrobial silicones – where and how they’re being used to reduce infections
• Advancements in fabricating multidimensional parts
• Challenges associated with combination components
• How to cut part development and production costs using virtual part, mold, and process evaluation
• Advancements in tooling for liquid silicone rubber

Keynote speaker, compliance expert Nancy Singer, will illustrate how easy it is for companies to leave themselves prone to lawsuits based on language contained in files and documents. Who is Singer to say? Well, she is former prosecutor for the Department of Justice, former special counsel for AdvaMed, and she currently heads her own firm, Compliance-Alliance. Her credentials are solid, as is the entire MSC program.
