2nd International Conference on Medical Devices: Materials, Mechanics and Manufacturing
Corfu, Greece 26-28 June 2023
The 2nd International Conference on Medical Devices: Materials, Mechanics and Manufacturing ICMD3M 2023 is organised by Technical Committee 14 "Integrity of Biomedical and Biological Materials" of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS). The first conference was organised in London, UK in 2019 and was focused on stents.
Aim and scope
The aim of this Conference is to bring together specialists in biomedical engineering, biomechanics, materials science, experimental mechanics, modelling and various aspects of processing and manufacturing as well as medical practitioners to discuss advances in medical devices (stents, implants, scaffolds, prostheses, pacemakers, catheters, endoscopes, sensors, drills, etc.)
The topics of the Conference include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Metallic and polymeric materials for medical devices;
- Mechanical properties of medical devices;
- Development of biodegradable medical devices;
- Modelling and simulations of deformation of medical devices;
- Design of medical devices;
- Manufacturing of medical devices;
- 3D printing for biomedical applications;
- Failure and fracture of medical devices;
- In-vitro and in-vivo studies;
- Biocompatibility of medical devices;
- Interaction of medical devices with tissues and organs;
- Mechanics of biological and biomedical materials;
- Fluid-solid interaction;
- Biological and clinical issues related to medical devices;
- Medical-imaging-based assessment.
