In recent years, the medical device industry has found itself at the crossroads of innovation and regulation, particularly with the increasing scrutiny over the use of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Known for their chemical resistance, heat resistance, durability, lubricity, and biocompatibility, PFAS have been integral in manufacturing various products including medical devices. Their persistence in the environment and potential health risks have led to sweeping regulatory actions globally that are starting to impact the medical device industry.

In this webinar, we’ll explore the impact of recent and anticipated regulations and share what we’ve learned to offer strategic insights to adapt to this evolving landscape.
