MeKo will be at COMPAMED in Düsseldorf from November 16–19, 2026 . Our project managers and engineers look forward to discussing new medical devices and the technical challenges behind them. From material selection and simulation to process development, precision manufacturing and testing, we combine engineering know-how with manufacturing experience to help turn ideas into medical devices. Find us right at the entrance to Hall 8a, Booth J07 . Bring your questions and project ideas – we look forward to getting into the technical details with you.

Dutch MedTech company Choice is developing a micro-mechanical contraceptive implant measuring around 1.6 millimeters in diameter . Based on a controllable valve mechanism, the system is designed for placement in the fallopian tube and is intended to provide reversible contraception. Multiple miniaturized components need to work reliably together within an extremely confined environment. MeKo supports this development by combining manufacturing expertise with early design feedback . Complex Nitinol components, including the stent structure and spring element, are assessed for manufacturability, reliability and scalability from the outset. “Without MeKo, we would not have been able to achieve this level of miniaturization,” says Peter Van De Graaf , Founder and CEO of Choice. The collaboration demonstrates how closely product development and precision manufacturing need to work together when miniaturizing medical devices.

At BioInterface 2026 in Salt Lake City , MeKo is taking a closer look at medical device surfaces. Jakob Dohse will be there to exchange ideas on electropolished finishes and functional coatings. The final micrometers offer plenty to discuss: what do new applications require from a surface, and how can those requirements be translated into manufacturing? We look forward to exchanging perspectives with fellow attendees.

A device might start with a material question, move through laser processing and surface finishing, require testing or simulation, and eventually need a reliable path into series production. At MD&M Midwest on October 28–29 , Tim Fries will be there to talk through where your project stands, what it needs next, and how having MeKo as a partner can help bring your idea to life with fewer handovers along the way. If you are part of the Midwest MedTech community, save the date.

Our heartbeat is something we rarely think about until something changes. On World Heart Day, we’re reminded how much depends on that steady rhythm working quietly in the background, every second of every day. At MeKo, heart health has a place both in and beyond our work , from colleagues staying active together in sports groups to making use of fitness programs such as Hansefit, while our daily work contributes to cardiovascular technologies that can make a difference. Because behind every implant is a person who wants to keep moving, spending time with family and simply enjoying life.

Before Medical Technology Ireland starts in Galway, our team will already be spending time across the Irish MedTech community, from customer visits and the opening of the new Eyedea MedTech Pub to MPP Ireland. At MTI, Chris Janker , Markus Binder and Jakob Dohse will be there to talk engineering, manufacturability, and whatever is currently keeping your project team busy. If you are attending too, come meet the team at Booth #217 in the German Pavilion.

Not every development project needs to start with a custom component. That’s why a selection of standardized MeKo components is now available directly through Chamfr. With components in stock and ready to ship in 1–2 business days , getting started is easier than ever. Use them to build an early proof of concept, compare options, and define what your design really needs. Once those requirements become clearer, we can work together to optimize geometries, materials, and processes for your specific application. Explore the MeKo storefront on Chamfr

When an implant meets the body, the surface makes the first impression. Whether electropolished, coated, or otherwise modified, the surface finish can shape what happens next. From October 6–8 , Jakob Dohse will be at BioInterface 2026 in Salt Lake City, exchanging perspectives on surfaces, biomaterials, and how they interact with the body. Heading there too? Come meet Jakob and join the conversation.

We are getting ready for Shanghai and for plenty of conversations around materials, manufacturing challenges, and current medical device projects. If you are attending, stop by and say hello. You will find us in Hall N1, Booth 1D206 in the German Pavillon.

You do not need a finished design to start the right conversation. At Medical Technology Ireland, Markus Binder and Chris Janker will be there to talk through projects at every stage, from early ideas to reliable production. Materials, tolerances, manufacturability, and process decisions all shape that path. Getting them right early can save iterations later. If you are working on something new or refining an existing device, come and talk our team.

Where does Nitinol expertise actually come from? Years of working with the material teach you a lot. Staying curious is what keeps that knowledge growing. Nitinol gives us plenty of reasons to keep asking questions. How do different shape-setting parameters influence material behavior? How closely can simulation predict what we later measure? What does a surface treatment change beyond what we can see? And what can we do when geometries push laser processing to its limits? At MeKo, our in-house simulation, testing and process development capabilities allow us to investigate many of these questions ourselves and connect the findings directly with what we see in manufacturing. And when different perspectives come together, there is even more to learn. Through the PRIME Project , we work alongside specialists across the Nitinol value chain to compare results, challenge assumptions and build a broader understanding together. Every new insight adds to the knowledge we can draw on when the next Nitinol challenge arrives, for our customers and for the wider shape memory alloy community.

At Medtec China, our experts Martin Kundrus and Thomas Hueerkamp will be there to talk materials, manufacturing, and the challenges that come with both. Nitinol, stainless steel, bioresorbable magnesium, or polymers. Each material behaves differently, and processing it accordingly can make all the difference in the final component. If you are attending, come meet our team and bring your questions, ideas, or current projects along.

Our calendar for the second half of 2026 is filling up, and once again, it will take us around the world . What we enjoy most about these events is talking through projects and new ideas with the people behind them, whether we have worked together for years or are meeting for the first time. Take a look at our upcoming stops and save the dates. More details on each event will follow as we get closer.

What does automation look like in medical device manufacturing? It helps keep processes stable, supports consistent quality, and allows our team to focus where experience and human judgment make the biggest difference. Here is a look behind the scenes:
