Granta, ASM Present Medical Device Solutions at Cleveland Summit

Granta presented at the Materials, Medicine, and Nanotechnology Summit at the Cleveland Clinic, demonstrating its solution for materials information management in medical device design and offering the first glimpse of a valuable new data resource for medical device applications.

The conference was hosted by the Cleveland Clinic, ASM International, and the Nano-Network. Granta's Dr Cebon joined a panel of eminent speakers to present on the subject of Surface coatings and finishing techniques to enhance functional properties such as wear, corrosion resistance and enhanced biocompatibility. Granta's GRANTA MI technology helps materials and device designers to manage and apply materials property and process information in pursuit of new and improved products.

Dr Cebon also teamed up with Granta's partners at ASM International to give the first public demonstration of the new Materials for Medical Devices Database. This online reference, which will be available to medical device organizations shortly, provides authoritative biological response data that includes degradation rates, materials properties, biocompatibility issues and surface treatment methods.
