Mr. Eggleton shared a comprehensive overview of the regulatory processes for introducing medical device technologies to the U.S. market, insights on key regulatory topics, and case studies within the neuro-musculoskeletal industry. An interactive Q&A session provided an opportunity for Chinese officials to explore the many complexities and nuances of the various regulatory pathways.

Further, as a firm that provides integrated support for companies entering international markets, it is crucial for opportunities such as these to ensure we have direct access and knowledge of the current regulatory environment.
