mpp west event panel

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you! Erik Wendehost, our very own Director of Sales at Applied Plastics, has been chosen as the moderator for the upcoming Catheter Development & Manufacturing Panel at the MPP Event in Maple Grove, Minnesota, on June 13th. With over two decades of experience in the MedTech industry, specializing in the manufacturing of Interventional Catheter Systems, Erik brings a unique perspective to catheter design, development, and manufacturing. His knowledge of catheter construction methods, tooling requirements, and material selection promises to make this discussion incredibly insightful for all attendees.

But that’s not all! The event is packed with fantastic features, including opening remarks by Brady Hatcher, Co-Founder and CEO of Switchback Medical, and Dr. Vishal Gupta, Practicing Interventional Cardiologist and Founder and CEO of Anchor Balloon Inc. Plus, there are two additional engaging panel sessions, enlightening Tech Talks, and ample networking opportunities.

MPP has gathered an exceptional lineup of technical leaders from the MedTech manufacturing industry, both on the panels and in moderation roles. Each panel discussion will conclude with a dedicated Q&A session, allowing you to interact directly with the experts.

Given the incredible lineup and content, this event may sell out quickly. So, we highly encourage you to secure your spot today! It’s an event you won’t want to miss!

Superior medical devices require superior coatings.

Our proprietary PTFE Natural® coated mandrels offer unmatched benefits.

low-co-friction

Low Coefficient of Friction

PTFE Natural® coatings provide a coefficient of friction generally in the range of 0.05 to 0.20, depending on the load and sliding speed.

heat-resistance

HEAT-RESISTANCE

PTFE Natural® coatings can operate continuously at temperatures up to 550°F and can be used for intermittent service up to 600°F with adequate ventilation.

non-stick

Non-Stick

Non-Stick Very few solid substances will permanently adhere to a PTFE Natural® coating. While tacky materials may show some adhesion, almost all substances release easily.

chemical-resistance

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Chemical environments usually do not affect a PTFE Natural® coating. Only molten alkali metals and highly reactive fluorinating agents are known to affect this coating.

robust-coating

ROBUST COATING

The proprietary PTFE Natural™ coating process enhances the substrate bonding surface to provide optimum lubricity without flaking or cracking.

non-wetting

NON-WETTING

Since PTFE Natural® finishes are both hydrophobic and oleophobic, cleanup is easier and more thorough.
