Accredited Testing Services for your total ankle and shoulder replacement prosthesis
Ankle Replacement Testing
With recent advances in the design of total ankle replacements, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) states “total ankle replacement (TAR) is fast becoming the treatment of choice for many patients with ankle arthritis and other disorders.”
Typical Components Tested
- Tibial Component
- Talar Component
- Polyethylene Inserts
Accutek’s Ankle Replacement Testing services include ASTM F2665, and more.
Shoulder Implant Testing
Although shoulder replacements are far less common than replacements of the lower extremities such as knees and hips, total shoulder replacement surgery can be very beneficial in eliminating the effects of arthritis and other joint problems.
Typical Components Tested
- Head Component
- Glenoid Implant
- Humeral Implant
Accutek’s Shoulder Implant Testing services include ASTM F1378, and more.
Mechanical Testing of Implants
Mechanical testing is a crucial component for proving equivalence or superiority to a predicate device when seeking regulatory approval. Accutek’s previous experience in testing many different implant systems and their individual components is also a substantial resource for you in early identification of factors to watch during testing.
Or perhaps your device is so unique and innovative that no applicable standard exists – and you need a custom test protocol and fixturing developed by an accredited, experienced laboratory.
