About the Webinar

In recent years, the medical device industry has found itself at the crossroads of innovation and regulation, particularly with the increasing scrutiny over the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Known for their chemical resistance, heat resistance, durability, lubricity, and biocompatibility, PFAS have been integral in manufacturing medical devices. Their persistence in the environment and potential health risks have led to sweeping global regulatory actions that are starting to impact the medical device industry.

In this webinar, our experts examine the impact of recent and anticipated regulations on medical devices, and share what we’ve learned for strategic insights, solutions, resources and more for adapting to this evolving landscape.
