Lucideon announced the addition of wear testing and debris analysis to its services for orthopedic implant manufacturers across the United States and Europe.
According to a company press release, Lucideon can perform testing to all parts of ISO 14242 for hip and ISO 14243 for knee simulation with its AMTI and ProSim wear simulators. With an in-house machine shop to make design-specific fixtures, the process of testing new designs can be expedited and material experts can determine the relevant protocols required to meet the ISO standards, perform required testing and provide a comprehensive test report for regulatory submission.
“We know that performing these studies in-house can be expensive, time-consuming and complex for our clients. So we developed this new service to provide manufacturers with all the data that they need, for both regulatory submission and new product development,” Gemma Budd, business manager of healthcare at Lucideon, stated in the release.
