Implant system testing

Research projects

Research is the key to reliable medical technology.

The safety of medical devices can only be guaranteed with the help of application-oriented test procedures. By using the latest technologies and simulation methods, we are working on continuous improvements in medical device testing.
Within our team, a dedicated research group is working to answer current research questions of the field. Close contact with university institutions helps us to push the state of science forward together.
In this context, we are also continuously looking for students to support us in research as part of internships or theses.

Abstract

In this project a test procedure for the numerical and mechanical testing of implant systems is being developed. Physiologically realistic load collectives are determined by means of a complex algorithm for the classification of implants using suitable measurable implant parameters, transferred to simulations of the mechanical load capacity as well as necessary geometrical and material dimensions of the implants and verified by means of test setups for the physiological testing of implant systems in static and dynamic loading cases with combined bending and torsional loading.
