Digital Image Correlation for Medical Implants

Too many measurements aren't made because they are difficult to make or inaccurate when made under live, realistic conditions. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) changes that and offers an efficient, non-contact way to measure motion and strain in real time.

Use DIC as a non-contacting extensometer on flat or curved surfaces including wires during stress-strain tests. Identify stress concentrations and quantify loading conditions for actual components under in service conditions. It can be used with all materials including metals, fabrics, plastics, ceramics, elastomers and natural materials.

EXCLUSIVE FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES — MEASURE RADIAL FORCE

We source calibrated, physiologically relevant silicone tubing and castings and dynamically measure the response for nearly any implant type. If it can be deployed, we can characterize it.

Read more about how we have applied the technique to radial force measurement in our Radial Force PDF:

We can perform DIC testing for you or help you set up a DIC system optimized for medical device product development.
