Peter D. Gabriele, Vice President of Emerging Technology at Secant Medical, will discuss the development and prospective uses of a novel bioelastomer platform at the MedTech Polymers Conference in Houston.

According to Gabriele, the platform offers benefits currently unavailable with today’s biomaterials.

Presentation

“Within the medical device industry there is a hesitance to adopt novel technologies due to regulations,” explained Gabriele. “However, while being mindful of regulatory compliance, one must also have the courage to take risks, and at Secant Medical, we understand that those smart risks can create breakthrough innovations that spark a paradigm shift in biomaterials science. I look forward to sharing the work we are doing for the research and commercial development of bioelastomers.”

Gabriele’s presentation, ‘A Novel Bioresorbable Polymer Option for Regenerative Medicine’, will take place on 14 October at the Reliant Centre.
