The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies offers total ankle system testing services to ensure the performance and durability of total ankle systems. Total ankle arthroplasty, also known as total ankle replacement, is the process of surgically replacing an ankle joint with an artificial joint compromised of plastic and metal. The procedure is an effective way for patients to preserve their mobility, limit their pain, and improve their quality of life. Independent medical device testing labs such as ATS play an important role in ensuring the quality of ankle replacements so that patients and medical professionals can trust the options available on the market.

Why is Total Ankle System Testing Important?
Manufacturers carefully design and test total ankle systems to ensure they’re an effective option for people seeking to treat ankle arthritis or injury. Before being placed on the market, ankle replacements undergo extensive tests that offer critical insight into the ankle system’s ability to offer the patient the mobility, loading bearing capacity, and longevity patients need to consider total ankle systems as a viable option. Testing that complies with industry standards is also an effective way for manufacturers to highlight their commitment to the medical providers and end users who rely of their devices.
