Industrial Design Consultancy has been selected to discuss the merits of plastics in design innovation as part of a high-profile speaker programme at this year's Plastics in Medical Design, May 18-20, 2010. IDC's managing director, Stephen Knowles, will address the role of plastics in medical design drawing on the company's varied international case studies on 19th May at 11.45am.
The presentation will highlight a range of factors affecting plastics choice in product design when developing a world class medical device. Addressing the essential issues of device application and risk classification, as well as regulation, testing and compliance, Knowles looks at several award-winning medical products designed by IDC to illustrate how to tackle the central points in the process. "Plastics often open doors in product design; choosing the right material is key to making a great product and can often prove cost-effective over other options.
But it is only through an accurate and indepth understanding of polymers in the context of medical classification and regulations that superior quality products can be designed," explained Knowles
