Webinar: Best practices in venting of medical devices

December 7, 2020 By Halle Kirsh

This webinar was presented live on Tuesday, January 12, 2021. Click below to watch it on demand. 

 

 

In this webinar designed for medical device engineers, learn from Kyle Harris — Porex’s Vice President of Healthcare Markets — how to design the best venting solution for your medical device using custom-engineered porous polymers. Not only is venting an essential function for any sealed or closed system to relieve pressure and protect the device from the external environment, “active” venting solutions can also maintain the sterility of the device or formulation, provide a bacterial barrier, minimize contamination, control odors and much more.

With 17 of the top 20 global medical device companies trusting POREX® venting and filtration media, Porex has decades of experience working with many types of medical devices — from infection prevention to drug delivery systems. Using examples across multiple medical applications, Kyle will explain the relationship between pore size, back pressure and airflow to help you identify the material that is best suited to vent your specific medical device. Take a tour of all types of porous materials used for medical device venting — from sintered polyethylene (PE) and PTFE, to track-etched membranes — and understand the benefits and limitations of each venting solution.

Attendees of this webinar will:

  • Understand the science behind active and passive venting specific to medical devices.
  • Explore how porous materials can be used to add functionality to the device beyond “traditional” passive venting.
  • Learn what questions to ask in order to find the right venting solution for your medical device.
