At the Tuttlingen Innovation and Research Center
How can innovative implants be developed that, through the use of innovative materials and modern manufacturing technologies, ensure mechanical stability as well as biological and chemical compatibility while also achieving a high degree of biofunctionality? The next MedTalk, entitled “Development, Design, and Manufacturing of Multifunctional Implants,” will address this question at the Internal link opens in the same window:Innovation and Research Center (IFC) of the HFU in Tuttlingen (Katharinenstraße 2).
Three expert presentations will focus on current approaches and different perspectives regarding the development, design, and manufacturing of multifunctional implants. HFU Professor Internal link opens in the same window:Dr. Hadi Mozaffari Jovein will speak about additive manufacturing. Dr.-Ing. Joachim Maier, Managing Owner of WEFA Medizintechnik GmbH, will discuss aspects of surface functionalization. In the third presentation, Dr. Berna Richter, Director of R&D for Orthopedic & Spine Surgery at AESCULAP AG, will present additively manufactured titanium implants for bone defects and cementless solutions in total knee arthroplasty.
The MedTalk event, which will take place on Wednesday, 4 November, from 4.00 - 6.00pm, is aimed at interested parties from the implant industry, research and development, clinical staff and students. Participants from other fields are also welcome. Following the presentations, the event will offer an opportunity for professional exchange and networking. The event is organised by MedicalMountains in cooperation with Internal link opens in the same window:CASE4Med and the Internal link opens in the same window:CoHMed (Connected Health in Medical Mountains) innovation and transfer partnership.
