Medical device wear testing is used to characterize the tribological properties of implants and prosthetics by simulating the kinematics and kinetics of the human body, in an environment that closely simulates intended use.
To ensure accurate results for extended use, medical device wear testing programs are generally long-term programs. Testing is typically run at 1Hz up to 5,000,000 cycles, with mass loss evaluations conducted throughout testing and a particle characterization performed post-test. Depending on the project requirements, a medical device wear test can last anywhere from 4-6 months.
The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Advantage
Because of the lengthy nature of medical device wear testing, it’s critical to partner with a lab that has experience with a regulatory body and understands the requirements regarding test methodology and reported data. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ manages every aspect of your medical device wear test program in-house, including testing and surface evaluation, mass loss measurements, and final reporting.
