This webinar will also examine toxicological considerations and emerging global regulations that may affect silicones, from formulation to processing. In addition, you’ll learn how DuPont™ Liveo™ silicones comply with regulations and are suitable for a wide variety of medical device applications, including:

  • Short-term and long-term implanted devices
  • Medical and diagnostic devices and components
  • Non-implant external devices
