Improving polymeric medical tubing and catheters, from design, materials and production to applications
Medical tubing and catheters play a critical
role in a huge variety of healthcare applications, and demand is growing thanks
to factors such as an ageing population and moves towards less invasive medical
procedures.
The 4th edition of our Medical
Tubing conference will address the latest tubing and catheter developments for
a wide range of medical requirements including intravenous, infusion, dialysis,
respiratory, feeding, and drainage applications. It will also examine the
latest standards and certification requirements in this heavily regulated
sector.

- Understand how leading medical device manufacturers make important decisions (including materials selection)
- Benefit from different formats designed to give you in-depth advice on technical advances and direct interaction with speakers on key topics like regulatory changes
- Build your network by meeting key players from throughout the medical tubing and catheter supply chain
- Get up close to well-connected leading industry experts and ask your questions

Testimonials
"Extremely well organised and placed conference. The benefit I can see is networking between critical materials´ and devices´ manufacturers"
Petr Smidl, President, CZEDMA
"Great conference and this could be the go-to place in the future whenever medical tubing is concerned"
Rüdiger Gall, General Manager, FREUDENBERG MEDICAL EUROPE
"Very good change to network and to get an insight of the status in the medical tubing world. Quality information from a narrow interest area is worth so much more than general exhibitions."

Unfortunately AMI cannot take responsibility for such problems. We recommend that you ensure that your travel plans leave you enough spare time to cope with weather delays or industrial action and that your travel insurance policy will recompense you for any financial loss that you suffer as a result of being unable to travel for other reasons. Remember that if you cannot attend an event then you can always send a colleague in your place at no charge.
It is entirely possible that you may need a valid visa to enter a country where AMI is holding an event. This is especially the case for individuals attending our events and holding non-European passports. We recommend that at the time of booking you check the visa requirements with the embassy of the host country in your home location. We are unable to give refunds to delegates who cannot attend conferences because they fail the visa requirements of the country concerned.
AMI always does its utmost to avoid changes in advertised conference programmes. However it is a fact of life that from time to time amendments have to be made as a result of changes to speakers’ circumstances or corporate change. Remember that you can always check with our conference staff on the latest status of any conference programme.
AMI welcomes presentation offers for
our conferences!
Within each conference heading you will find a
section on ‘Speaking Opportunities, which tells you what to do if you want
to submit a presentation proposal.
We would love to hear from you. Please let the
AMI conference team know.
Please contact the AMI conference team and they will
be happy to help!
