Bionix Multistation Wear Simulators

Aiding researchers in developing better joint implant designs through long term wear testing, component optimization and material properties characterization. These systems also provide a realistic and practical compromise between general-wear screening devices (such as pin-on-disk systems) and the intensive research accomplished through full-scale simulation and modeling.

  • Long Term Wear
  • Fatigue Testing
  • Compression
  • Impingement
  • Simulation of Daily Living Activities
  • Biomaterials and Medical Devices
  • Medical Device Components
