For the first time ever, Davis-Standard will host a medical tubing symposium on the West Coast. Scheduled for November 15 at the Hilton Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California, the symposium will highlight a range of medical tubing subjects that promote product quality, process efficiency and profitability. Topics include advancements in medical tubing measurement and quality control; optimization of profile dies for multi-lumen extrusion; die design technology; benefits of direct drive motors; the science of cutting medical tubing with minimal particulates; and aftermarket upgrades and opportunites. Industry experts from Davis-Standard, Zumbach, Guill Tool, Conair, Baumuller and Allen Bradley will be among the speakers.

“We’ve held similar symposiums at our facility in Pawcatuck, Connecticut, and they have been well received,” said Kevin Dipollino, Davis-Standard’s Product Manager of Pipe, Profile & Tubing Systems. “We have a large customer base and several vendor partners in California and northern Mexico, so we anticipate a good turnout. It will be a great opportunity to share timely information while offering valuable process education to advance medical tubing processes for customers.”

The fee to attend is $175 and includes tuition, presentation binders, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Space is limited. Those interested should contact Christine Maxam at (315) 593-0359 or at cmaxam@davis-standard.com.
