Medical Implants
Medical implants are devices put inside or on the surface of a human body. Prosthetics make up a large number of implants, acting as replacements for missing body parts. They can also support missing organs or tissues, monitor body functions, and provide medication. Manufacturers make implants from numerous materials, including ceramic, metal, and plastic, as well as bone, skin, or other body tissues.
The Importance of Medical Implant Testing
Surgical risks, implant failure, and infection can occur in medical implants during placement or removal. Even if the procedure proves successful, an implant can break, move, or completely stop working over time. Conducting medical implant testing before putting a product on the market is essential to preventing these possible risks.Medical implants must undergo an array of testing that spans a variety of technologies to satisfy regulatory bodies concerned with consumer safety, such as the FDA (Food & Drug Administration). Like other medical devices, implants need testing to verify they can perform their design functions properly. However, implants must undergo additional testing to determine whether they cause any harm to human bodies during long-term service.
