The 12th COMPAMED Spring Convention on May 3 in Frankfurt focused on biocompatibility of implants and gave new perspectives in medical technology. 45 selected international participants used the conference not only as an opportunity to get an outlook on this year’s COMPAMED, but also to meet again and develop business contacts.
The four sessions of the conference concerning the topics “Technologies for the Production of Implants”, “Packaging for Implants”, “Materials for Medical Implants”, and “Microtechnology in Medical Applications” especially focused on biocompatibility. The talks were about coating processes such as Parylene coating, which is able to make any material biocompatible. SCS took up the topic manufacturing processes and advantages of Parylene while Comelec showed further development through combination in multilayer systems with other materials.
In the field of electronic packaging, biocompatibility is generated by packaging critical components in casing (e.g. made of glass). The Fraunhofer IFAM also shed light on the opposite: bio-resorption instead of biocompatibility. In this process, materials of implants are supposed to dissolve in the body in the course of time.
The COMPAMED Spring Convention has been organized by the IVAM Microtechnology Network and supported by Messe Düsseldorf once a year since 2007. Since 2017, the conference has been held in English. The forum gives a preview of the COMPAMED trade fair in November. There, exhibitors will revert to the important topic of implants in medical technology on the Product Market "High-tech for Medical Devices" and the accompanying "COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM".
In its 12th year, the COMPAMED Spring Convention was attended by interested experts, speakers and journalists from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
