DSM DYNEEMA AND UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL MAASTRICHT COLLABORATE TO EXPLORE NEW SOLUTIONS FOR CORRECTING SPINAL DEFORMITIES
URMOND (NL), 18 June 2008 - DSM Dyneema and the university hospital Maastricht (azM), The Netherlands, today announced a joint agreement to conduct research into new solutions that can improve surgical outcomes for patients with spinal deformities. Combining the materials technology of DSM Dyneema with the clinical expertise of the university, this project aims to develop new solutions that support the trend toward minimally invasive procedures as well as the need for preservation of mobility. The project team will focus on leveraging Dyneema Purity®, an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene fiber offering maximum strength and minimum weight, to enhance post-operative mobility and quality of life for surgery patients as a result. Furthermore, the high strength-to-weight ratio of Dyneema Purity® enables device miniaturization to support minimally invasive surgical techniques that promote faster recuperation and reduced scarring.

The Medtec UK 2008 (13-14 February in Birmingham) has been a major success for polymer distributor and service provider Distrupol. This was Distrupol’s first time exhibiting at the event where it generated over 60 new sales leads, three of which have already resulted in tool trials of polymers supplied by the company. Distrupol believes the excellent response at the show was largely down to the availability of its own Development Engineers, and those of its material suppliers, to discuss product development opportunities and polymer solutions at the stand.
