Plymouth, Minnesota, September 2023 – Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical plans to exhibit advanced polymer solutions for healthcare and medical devices, and pharmaceutical and biotech applications, at MD&M Minneapolis in Minneapolis, Minnesota, October 10 to 11, 2023, in Booth 3202.

On display are solutions offered by Trelleborg’s Innovation Center which reduce manufacturers’ time to market. Also featured are Trelleborg’s advanced capabilities in biopharmaceutical processing, thermoplastic injection molding, tubing, hose, molded parts, multicomponent and micromolding offerings.

Chris Tellers, Global Technology Director, Healthcare & Medical, says: “For healthcare and medical innovators looking to create high-performing products and measurably reduce go-to-market timel…

Protolabs has ‘true silicone’ for medical devices

Protolabs is using MD&M Minneapolis this week to promote its new “true silicone” 3D printing offering that is gaining attention from medical device developers.

“It’s only been out for a couple of months, but it’s getting really good reception from medical customers,” said David Giebenhain, Protolabs’ global product director of 3D printing. (Check out Protolabs at Booth No. 2300 at MD&M Minneapolis — which runs today and tomorrow.)

The offering helps set Protolabs a cut above other 3D printing providers who offer materials that are “like” the real thing, but not the actual material.

Pulse Technologies (Quakertown, Pa.) used this week’s MD&M Minneapolis to show off its new hierarchical surface restructuring (HSR) tech, promoting its ability to modify the surface of implantable electrodes and microelectrode arrays.

Pulse Technologies officials think the offering could boost innovation in the neuromodulation and cardiac rhythm management space — as well as other medtech applications.

The tunable process uses ultrashort pulse lasers to engineer the surface of an electrode versus using specialized coatings.

HSR, according to Pulse Technologies, can enable smaller electrodes with enhanced electrochemical performance, durability, sensitivity and resolution.
