There are a variety of medical implants in use today and many more are being developed. The testing of these implants is one of the most important tools for the safety of these devices. Different types of implants can require different tests and will need different certifications.
The testing of medical implants is a process that analyzes various aspects of the implants before they are certified for clinical use. Depending on the product it may be analyzed for chemical composition, particle analysis, ion release, physical capabilities and more.
