Bioactive Surface Testing

Implant Surfaces has developed a strategic partnership with CMDC laboratories and together have conducted extensive research on the interaction of bioactive surfaces for implant applications such as immune response and cell attachment.

CMDC Labs, is a commercial provider of in vitro bioactive surface testing, microbiology testing, immune response testing and scientific writing inviting medical device developers and manufacturers to make the unknown known. On-site Testing has been essential for understanding the biological interactions of our surfaces.

Many labs are limited in the number of clients they can serve at any given time, whether due to insufficient funding, staffing, equipment, timeline issues or a combination thereof. This can quickly lead to bottlenecking, leaving your project trapped in a queue of many. Even then, delays can still be frequent. When you work with a resource like CMDC Labs, you gain access to a large privately funded team with the skills and resources to effectively manage multiple projects and expedite timelines for
