Medical devices can be comprised of a diverse selection of materials that are used in and around the body. It is important to know which materials the body will accept upon implantation and their mechanical properties once implanted. At Ebatco, material testing is handled by our skilled team of laboratory scientists. Our laboratory scientists use the utmost care when handling customer samples, conduct material testing efficiently and accurately, and prepare professional reports that give results both numerically and graphically. The services and data that Ebatco provides will integrate well into your company’s development or verification plan. Whether testing the hardness of your hip implants or the surface roughness of your implantable electronic, Ebatco has you covered. It is essential to understand the material properties of marketable medical devices because human lives are affected upon implantation. It is important to understand adhesion properties and the body’s ability to incorporate the material into its internal system. Let our team of scientists perform precise testing to provide the desired knowledge about a given material’s properties. Ebatco has a wide array of material testing instrumentation that allows for a versatile user experience. Our full-service laboratory can support your needs during the early stages of your product development, later stages of development, and also post-market sample testing and verification. Ebatco has instrumentation to complete mechanical testing, in the micro- and nano- scale, on material samples. If you have any questions about the services or instrumentation available at Ebatco, feel free to call or email and a member of our team will be able to further assist you.
