Welcome to our new Instron Community Blog hosted by Instron. It is a compilation of the freshest, brightest, most-talented minds that Instron has to offer. The world of materials science is so vast and encompasses the broadest range of industries, materials, and challenges that no one person can possibly possess all the knowledge required to be the resident expert – or master of materials science. It takes a small army behind the scenes collaborating and sharing technical know-how, experiences, and ideas to present the most accurate, relevant, and timely information to you – our readers.

We invite you to tell us who you are, share your stories and talk about your experiences. Join the Instron Community.

Did You Experience the First Annual Medtec India?

Did you know that 40% of the world’s population lives in China and India? With increasing global competiveness, expanding healthcare coverage, and increasing wealth, both of these countries are poised for substantial increases in the utilization of medical devices.


To that effect, the Nehru Center in downtown Mumbai just hosted the first Annual Medtec India conference and exhibition. More than 30 vendors entertained 500+ visitors interested in seeing what is the latest and greatest in terms of processing equipment, testing equipment and a multitude of technical services. Additionally, speakers from multi-national companies like Stryker, Johnson & Johnson and Abbott Vascular discussed the state of the regulatory environment in India; addressing challenges, limitations, and opportunities.

The Instron Bio Team manned a booth which highlighted our capabilities in medical device testing. We brought an E1000 with Wavematrix™ Software to demonstrate our ability to address the ongoing need for increases in fatigue testing within this application space. Excited about our ongoing business expansion in India, we are looking forward next year’s expanded conference (4 times as many exhibitors anticipated) in New Delhi.

If you have any questions about the evolving market or any interesting stories about working in India, let us know!
