Advancing Orthopaedic Medical Device Manufacturing -
The MeDe Innovation Annual Conference 2015
The MeDe Innovation Annual Conference 2015 ‘Advancing Orthopaedic Medical Device Manufacturing’ will bring you up to the minute developments in the changing landscape of design and manufacture for orthopaedic medical devices.
Our interdisciplinary one-day conference brings together experts from funders, research, industry, clinical, and regulation.
A year on from our launch event, delegates will have the opportunity to consider:
Medical Devices – An industry with unlimited potential:
Opportunities and challenges in
• stratified design and innovative manufacture of orthopaedic medical devices
• in-clinic manufacture of personalised orthopaedic devices
• use of biological and biomimetic materials in medical devices and health technologies
Getting great products to patients:
• Regulatory perspectives from the MHRA towards personalised and combination approaches for medical devices
• Changes to the pre-market approvals process to access opportunities in the USA from the FDA Centre for Devices and Radiological Health
Creating new industries from pioneering innovative manufacturing research in the UK:
• Showcase of how EPSRC are creating a prosperous future for the UK through ground-breaking innovative manufacturing research
• How breadth of research is growing new technology-led companies, improving healthcare delivery and allowing economic competitiveness in the UK
• Presentations from research specialists in Additive Manufacturing, Composite Manufacturing and more
Growing and supporting the national community:
• Announcement of the Fresh Ideas Award winners from the Centre Co-Director
• Growing a Medical Devices and Regenerative Clinical Network led by the Centre Clinical Director
• Launch of the National MSK Medical Device Capability Database from the Centre National Outreach Manager
• Ample networking opportunities, exhibitions and panel discussion sessions
Organised by
The Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Medical Devices researches and develops advanced design and manufacturing methods for the medical device sector.
Our innovative design and manufacturing advances will focus in the first instance on class 3 medical devices for musculoskeletal disease, where the cost of device failure and need for throughout life reliability are high.
The Centre is a collaborative research project which brings together expertise from the universities of Leeds, Newcastle, Nottingham, Bradford and Sheffield as well as a range of expert clinicians from across the UK. Our 12 founding industry members are embedded within our research projects, with many more forming an industry-wide network.
Our Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Medical Devices is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and is part of a wider programme of support for innovative manufacturing research centres.
