The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) provides cranial, maxillofacial, and dental testing services designed to evaluate the mechanical properties of medical devices. Medical devices provide solutions for patients seeking to recover from medical conditions and diseases that have compromised their body’s natural functions and abilities. These devices and implants can range from simple stents that open blocked arteries to complex spinal implants designed to stabilize and strengthen injured spines. Our medical device testing experts conduct comprehensive tests to confirm the quality and safety of our clients’ medical devices, instruments, and materials.
Our Cranial, Maxillofacial, and Dental Medical Device Testing
Cranial, maxillofacial, and dental medical devices are a wide range of instruments designed to repair and restore issues with a patient’s skull, face, jaw, and teeth. Our medical device testing lab offers services designed to assess the mechanical properties, strengths and weaknesses, and capabilities of medical implants. We offer dental implant tests in compliance with the ISO 14801 standard and additional services that assess cranial plating systems and orbital mesh.
The Importance of Understanding Cranial, Maxillofacial, and Dental Implant Testing
Patients who undergo dental, maxillofacial, and cranial surgeries may be doing so for a variety of reasons. They may be seeking to restore their oral or cranial health, reduce discomfort, or improve their confidence by addressing irregularities for cosmetic purposes. Regardless of their reasons, patients and their doctors enter the operating room assuming that the surgical instruments and medical implants are safe to use and are free of any unnecessary risks. Independent labs such as ours play a critical role in ensuring that medical devices are effective, safe, and compliant with the standards and regulations that give consumers and medical providers confidence in a product. Mechanical tests help cranial, maxillofacial, and dental implant manufacturers do the following:
- Research and develop products
- Address design flaws in preclinical settings
- Minimize the risk of patient harm
- Improve material selection processes
- Protect manufacturers from fines and legal penalties
