Medical products need an identification to properly match and trace them. One possibility of marking products is through lasers.

Often, years pass from the first idea to the finished medical product, as medical devices are only allowed to be released onto the market and can be implanted into humans after sufficient research and a sometimes tedious search for the right cooperation with different disciplines, as well strict control on the part of the legislator. We spoke to Professor Feldhusen at RWTH Aachen about his experiences in this exciting field of research and development.

627 suppliers from 40 countries showcase their innovations in the exhibition halls 8a and 8b at the COMPAMED 2011. The products, ranging from small tubing to complete packaging systems, show the great diversity of the medical device industry. See for yourself!

The COMPAMED is getting bigger and bigger. Held at the same time as the world’s largest Medical trade fair, MEDICA, in the trade fair halls 8a and 8b of Dusseldorf’s trade fair grounds, more than 500 exhibitors from over 30 countries present new solutions and services for the supplier market of medical technological manufacturing.
