Orthopaedic medical and dental implants treat bone disease, fractures, and soft tissue injuries while maintaining bone or soft tissue structural rigidity and alignment during healing. Orthopedic research tests show medical implants experience high in vivo load levels, so static and fatigue tests are critical to simulate real load conditions per ASTM, ISO, CE and FDA guidelines. Orthopedic implant device test machines and equipment prove new devices and implants restore function to arthritic joints. The devices must be tested with inherently complex mechanical systems involving joint kinematics and 6 degree of freedom motions at physiological forces. Orthopedic biomechanical test machines are engineered to be flexible because test setups involve multiple loading channels and multi axial mechanical testing requirements. TestResources supplies mechanical static and fatigue test systems to orthopedic implant and device testing applications. Our orthopedic biomedical application engineer configures test machines and equipment to your specific needs. Call us to discuss your test method, material, and test sample details.

Orthopedic Devices and Implants are tested in the case of dental, hip, spine, shoulder, ankle, foot, knee, hand, wrist, finger and other joints. Further devices that need to be tested include bone plates, bone cement, bone screws and fixation devices such as interlocking nails, cranio maxillofacial implants, nails, wire, pins, mini, fragment implants, cannulated screws, DHS/DCS and angled blade plates.

Most orthopedic mechanical tests tend to be performing static and fatigue compression and torsion tests. TestResources universal testing machines perform static twist and compression tests of implants and medical devices. Electrodynamic and servo hydraulic test machines perform orthopedic medical implant device fatigue and dynamic impact tests, including axial fatigue, torsional fatigue, and axial combined with torsion, or biaxial.
