The event organized by Medical Cluster and the Swiss Society for Surface Technology on April 23-24 is dedicated to experts and persons interested in the subject of surgical implants.
The program covers topics in the fields of materials, surfaces and processes, and includes expert talks as well as short presentations. Additionally, this event offers possibilities for discussions and networking at the tabletop exhibition and sponsors display. The goal of this event is to promote the exchange of know-how and to trigger collaborations between implant producers, subcontractors and end users.
The focus of the 2012 conference will be on implant surfaces with special attention given to the following sub-topics:
- Physical and chemical surface modification
- Biological interactions of implant surfaces
- Process validation and regulatory affairs
- Clinical aspects from implant surfaces
Speaker presentations The organizers would like to invite you to submit an abstract for a speaker presentation (15 min talk + 5 min discussion). The presentations must relate to the topic of the conference and to one of the four sub-topics listed above. Abstract submissions must include a title, author names and a short text (abstract - min 150 to max 200 words). Abstracts will be accepted until January 31, 2012.
