The company will showcase solutions for applications in implantable invasive, diagnostic imaging, therapeutic, surgical, and patient monitoring applications at MD&M Minneapolis, October 29-30, booth 1518. Additionally, Hank Mancini, a marketing manager for Molex subsidiary Affinity Medical, will participate in a Tech Theater session on October 29, 2:30-3pm to discuss the considerations a manufacturer must address when choosing a connector and mating receptacle for a new device.
