Calcium phosphate materials for research applications
RMS Foundation has been active in the research of calcium phosphate bioceramics for more than 35 years. During this time, our experts have developed materials with outstanding physical and chemical properties. As a testing, research, and consulting institute, we offer our expertise to partners from academia and industry. Our services include transfer and implementation of specialized manufacturing processes to the clients’ facilities, consulting to improve existing processes, and supply of raw materials and samples for research projects.
Dynamic testing – small loads and optical deformation tracking
Our latest electrodynamic testing machines enable fatigue tests with calibrated loads starting at 4 N. In combination with the DIC method (Digital Image Correlation), this opens up the world of optical deformation tracking of specific locations, even during dynamic tests.
Particle analysis: Characterization of particles generated under dynamic loading of medical devices
Many medical devices consist of several components and are exposed to cyclic loads during their use. This can result in micro-movements between the individual parts, which can produce wear particles. If the medical device is implanted in a patient, particles are released into the body over the period of use.
In order to prove the safety of a product, many medical device manufacturers determine the type, quantity and size of the abrasion particles, which are formed in a simulated mechanical stress situation. Such tests are also increasingly required by the regulatory authorities.
