ABOUT THE SUMMIT
The North American Biocompatibility Summit (NABS) is a limited-seating event that provides industry insights and expertise sharing on the biocompatibility of medical devices. Sessions include the latest regulatory updates, biological evaluation strategies and best practices that lead to successful biocompatibility programs.
Led by the medical device industry’s foremost biological safety experts, speakers will address:
- Regulatory strategies and how they relate to ISO 10993
- New and innovative biocompatibility methods and technologies
- The relationship between material/chemical characterization and biocompatibility testing
- Toxicology and risk management
- Industry case studies
Join us for this one day exclusive summit to learn and network with top scientists, toxicologists, and industry leaders in the medical device biocompatibility field!
Should you have any questions, please contact Céline Puleo, Global Marketing Event Manager, cpuleo@namsa.com.

Call for Abstracts
The dynamic landscape of biocompatibility presents unique challenges across different regions. The upcoming Summit is the perfect platform to address these issues, share best practices, and explore advocacy efforts aimed at easing regulatory pressures on manufacturers.
We are seeking submissions from Toxicologists, Scientists, and industry leaders specializing in biocompatibility. Following last year’s success, the NABS Scientific Board is eager to maintain a focus on global hurdles of chemical characterization and biocompatibility for the 2025 agenda. (All accepted abstracts/speakers will receive a complimentary pass to this limited seating event.)
To submit your abstract, please click here. Abstracts submitted without a detailed description and objectives will not be considered. The deadline for submissions is June 8, 2025.
