Nowadays, the biomedical applications are increasing.
In order to check security or biocompatibility, mechanical surface properties have been analyzed. Our instrument's ranges enables the user to ease the process of assessing the quality of your biomedical samples.

These last two years, we have been working on several projects for bones and teeth characterization.
Large experiments were performed for:

  • Scratch Resistance on contact lenses
  • Controlled drug release valves
  • Hardness of bone tissue
  • Properties on teeth materials
  • Blood Pump System
  • Arterial implants (Stents)
  • Adhesion on coating for hip prostheses
  • .etc
