On August 10^th 2017 the TGA held a workshop titled Regulatory considerations for additive manufacturing (3D printing) in the medical field.

3D printing is already used in large volume production of devices to a standard design as an alternative to traditional subtractive manufacturing, but this technology is becoming increasingly popular in medicine as a way to overcome patient-specific challenges, in particular in the area of cranial and facial reconstruction and orthopaedic implants.

Last week MTAA hosted another successful Woman in MedTech (WiMT) event.

The sell-out audience of over 120 women and men enjoyed Cochlear’s high-tech campus at Macquarie University for an early morning breakfast to hear speakers share their thoughts on opportunities they took, the need to be confident in your abilities, how they overcame challenges and celebrating their triumphs.
