Results from a study on flexible packaging could encourage medtech to consider the “second life” of materials. “Until this point, we didn’t really have a sound set of data or experience recycling these flexible and mixed materials," says Nicholas Packet, a Packaging Engineer and MDM Specialist for DuPont.

What is HealthPack?

The medical device packaging industry’s trusted, authoritative annual education forum for updating technical knowledge, exploring the leading edge of industry trends and connecting with the who’s who of the industry. 

HealthPack provides critical information you can put to immediate use on your packaging team. As a peer-to-peer education and networking event for medical device packaging professionals, you’ll learn essential updates and information about industry breakthroughs, from regulatory and testing issues to materials advances and case studies. Attendees consistently give the conference superior marks as “useful in my work.”

A must-attend session is HealthPack’s signature panel of OR nurses and technicians. Each year, we bring in a panel of local hospital professionals on the “front lines” to review and critique your commercialized packages live, on a closed-circuit feed. Afterward, the panelists join the conference and answer your questions. Talk directly with your end users—there’s never an empty seat in the room!

HealthPack is designed for medical device packaging decision-makers, from directors to managers to package engineers and R&D team members. The conference program is developed with the assistance of an advisory committee of veteran professionals working in all corners of the industry. HealthPack 2019 also will include a preconference interactive session, a tabletop exhibit hall and plenty of networking time.
