2019 MGMC Mini-Conference
Ethicon Medical Research Institute, Cincinnati
8 August 2019
After an initial call to action presented at the 2017 Medical Design & Manufacturing Conference and Exposition in New York City, Ethicon convened the first MGMC Mini-Conference on 8 August 2019, in Cincinnati. The conference established that the scope and ultimate goal of the MGMC initiative would focus on defining the basic requirements for medical-grade, locked-down grade, pharmaceutical packaging, and skin-contact grade materials. It was determined that nonmedical and implant-grade materials would not be included within the scope of the initiative. A summary of the conference was published in the form of a white paper in November 2019.
