While material advances have revolutionized the medical device industry, perhaps none has been as dramatic as the discovery of the shape memory alloy, Nitinol. Its superelastic qualities allow the metal to withstand extensive elastic deformations. Engineers who understand this material lead the way in new product breakthroughs and revenue development.
The Cleveland Clinic and ASM will offer blended technical programming covering the spectrum of materials-related challenges and opportunities in medicine, from today’s materials to the next generation of nanomaterials.
ASM will offer materials and process-related seminars for engineers and physicians who work with medical devices, with CME accreditation. Exhibits will feature advances in materials and processes for medical devices from both manufacturers and suppliers.
