Orthoplastics Proud to Sponsor 2026 Implant Polymers UHMWPE and PEEK Conference
Orthoplastics is pleased to announce that we’ll be attending the 2026 Implant Polymers: UHMWPE and PEEK Conference, taking place on 17-18 June 2026 at the Bossone Research Enterprise Centre at Drexel University in Philadelphia.
As a Bronze Sponsor of the event, we are proud to support a conference that brings together leading engineers, scientists, clinicians, regulators and industry experts to explore the latest developments in implantable polymer technologies.
Advancing the future of implantable polymers
The conference is an important meeting point for the global biomaterials community, focusing on advancements in medical-grade UHMWPE and PEEK, and the rapidly expanding field of polymer implant additive manufacturing.
Organisers have broadened the scope of the event to showcase developments in point-of-care manufacturing and a wider range of implantable polymers, which reflects the pace of innovation across the sector.
For Orthoplastics, the event provides an excellent opportunity to engage with researchers, manufacturers and medical device innovators who are helping shape the future of implantable materials.
Commenting on Orthoplastics' sponsorship of the event, John Devine, Managing Director of Orthoplastics, said: "The Implant Polymers Conference has become an important event for the biomaterials community, bringing together experts from across industry, academia and healthcare. We're pleased to support the conference as a Bronze Sponsor and look forward to the discussions around the latest developments in UHMWPE, PEEK and implantable polymer technologies."
A programme focused on innovation
The two-day conference agenda covers a range of topics relevant to the orthopaedic and medical device industries, including:
- Clinical performance of UHMWPE
- Alternative bearing pair technologies
- Oxidation resistance and material longevity
- UHMWPE processing and testing
- PEEK bioactivity and clinical applications
- Point-of-care additive manufacturing and 3D printed PAEK implants
The programme features presentations from leading universities, healthcare institutions, regulatory bodies and industry organisations from around the world, providing attendees with valuable insights into the latest research and technological developments.
Supporting collaboration across the industry
The conference serves to encourage collaboration between academia, industry and government. By bringing together experts from across the implant materials sector, the event creates opportunities to exchange ideas, discuss emerging challenges and explore new approaches to medical device development.
Orthoplastics has long supported innovation in implantable polymer technology and recognises the value that events such as this bring to the wider industry. As demand grows for advanced materials, improved implant performance and new manufacturing techniques, collaboration remains essential to driving progress.
