The surface properties and interactions of materials used in medical devices with the living environment are essential to predict its biocompatibility with a host body. This is particularly important in the design of reliable implants, tissue imitations or also bone replacements, among others. The choice of materials is an important step in the design of medical devices to avoid rejection while ensuring their features. Moreover, they must be harmless over time for the patient and withstand many constraints over the years...

New generations of medical devices will require miniaturized functionality, thinner coatings and improved stability while optimizing their efficiency and patient safety.

Physico-chemical analyses are therefore necessary for the development and the control of these devices. Adhesion measurement, characterization of the compounds used and their harmlessness, analysis of surfaces and deposits, identification of the causes of failure, trial tests (fractures, fatigue...), and more...

TESCAN ANALYTICS and TESCAN have been working since their inception on the challenges of the medical implant sector.
