Custom test procedures

We love to learn more about your special test needs.

EndoLab^® has decades of experience with custom test procedures. We develop test protocols based on literature analysis, as well as on our own database. Test setups are realized by up to date 3D CAD software (CATIA), high precision measurement equipment and our own software development. Our accredited quality system according to ISO 17025 guarantees valid and reproducible test results for your benefit.

A number of EndoLab^® test procedures have been adapted by international standards, such as ASTM and ISO.

Example 1

Tribological loading of cartilage (TEMPs)

Example 2

Multiaxial stent testing

Example 3

Total hip replacement adverse conditions

Example 4

Ceramic cage testing

Total hip replacement adverse conditions

Wear testing of total hip replacements, performed under the test conditions of ISO 14242-1, simulates level walking of a perfectly implanted device. In reality, there are a number of parameter such as aging, subluxation, high inclination angles, corrosion and third body contamination that might impact the wear behavior of a total hip replacement. EndoLab^® has developed a battery of test protocols that focus on individual test conditions or combine multiple adverse conditions for worst case analysis.
