Chris Glasby, Senior Manufacturing Engineer at Secant Medical will provide a brief history of implantable textiles, including the leap from textiles engineered with synthetic materials, to resorbable materials and the development of regenerative tissue scaffolds.
Glasby will also discuss the future of biomaterials, including the benefits and applications of the resorbable bioelastomer poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS).
“I have been in the textile industry for more than 24 years and have seen firsthand the challenges that arise when integrating new or advanced biomaterials with traditional textile engineering,” said Glasby.
He added, “This conference will be an opportunity to show the textile industry how Secant Medical is overcoming these obstacles and developing next-generation biomedical textile structures.”
The Advanced Textiles Expo takes place October 14-16 in Minneapolis at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The Advanced Textiles Expo program begins Monday, October 13.
