| Session 6A: Mechanical and Physical Properties of Medical Devices | ||||
| Location: Kellogg (Radisson Riverfront Hotel) | ||||
| (Please check final room assignments on-site). | ||||
| Session Description: SESSION BACKGROUND:
Increasing the fundamental understanding of mechanical and physical properties of medical device materials is important for future device design and development.
SESSION FOCUS:
This session focuses on recent materials testing methods, alloy/materials design, alloy/materials fatigue-life prediction, and quality assurance testing in manufacturing environments. A broad spectrum of application includes wear in orthopedic implant devices, fatigue-life of esthetic dental restorations, and the manufacturability of suture needles.
SESSION TAKEAWAYS:
This session will provide the most recent information on materials test methods, mechanical and physical properties of new alloys, and improved methods for quality testing. | ||||
