Mediplas is a NEW uniquely focused event for the highly specialised area of manufacturing plastic parts for the medical industry. The exhibition will cover all areas of the medical plastics supply chain – including design and prototyping, materials, clean room machinery (extrusion and injection moulding), process control and sensing, mould making and temperature control, end of line/assembly, regulation and contract manufacturing.

Mediplas differentiates itself from general plastics shows, as it brings to the forefront the aspects and considerations of medical device manufacturing that do not feature in production for other industries. Furthermore, it is distinct from existing medical device shows because it specialises in plastics - the new material of choice as bio-compatible plastics and polymer compounds continue to replace metal and ceramics in all industries, especially medical.

Plastics production for the medical industry is a rapidly expanding market, with a diverse range of applications for polymers. From single use disposable pipette tips to life-long artificial implants, the medical industry relies heavily on plastics manufacturing and distribution. For many manufacturers, inherent long-term contracts are on offer due to the high cost of swapping suppliers, and these prove to be highly attractive and lucrative opportunities.
