MIT Researchers Working to Develop Biomimetic Medical Adhesive
Many of us know that geckos can help save us money on car insurance. As if that wasn't enough, MIT researchers led by Professor Jeffrey Karp are now attempting to add breakthrough medical adhesives to this unassuming lizard's list of achievements...
BioTense Bioreactor used in Northeastern University Cornea Research
Northeastern University engineering professor Jeffrey Ruberti and his research colleagues are breaking new ground in the technique known as "hybrid tissue engineering" by attempting to control the behavior of human cells such that they can be induced t...
Revolutionizing the Bone Screw Industry- Bioceramics
Bone Screws are placed in human bone to repair a fracture. In most cases, a second surgery is required to remove the bone screw to allow further healing. There is fantastic research going on around the world on new bioabsorbable material based bon...

How Do You Test Spinal Implants?
For over twenty years, ADMET has been designing state of the art testing systems for a range of industries. From plastics and adhesives to ceramic and metals, ADMET has established itself as a standard bearer in the world of material and device testing...
ASTM F543 Annex 3 Axial Pullout Strength Metallic Bone Screws
Bone screws are designed to be inserted into bone or bone-like material to stabilize the area. The screws are subjected to different loads as the body moves and as the bones heal. This standard specification is used to determine how much force is requi...
Low Force Fatigue Testing on Titanium and other small Orthopedic implant parts
Small titanium, plastic, ceramic, and composite parts are crucial to the assembly of medical devices, medical parts for orthopedics, and dental devices. Many ASTM and ISO standards outline the test procedures and sample preparation. There are many refe...
Medical Adhesive Testing Basics
From orthodontic bonding agents to wound closures, to gels for medical sensor pads, the term medical adhesive can refer to any product that is used to adhere or bond in a medical application. Medical adhesives can be categorized by application and adhe...
Suture Tensile Testing
A suture is a medical device that doctors use to hold skin, internal organs, blood vessels and all other tissues of the human body together, after they have been severed by injury or surgery. They must be strong enough to hold the tissue and flexible e...
