Materials Screening and Selection
Eliminating Toxicological Risks Early in R&D
Selecting the right materials is a critical milestone in medical device development. SAXOCON helps manufacturers avoid the high costs of late-stage redesigns by identifying toxicological risks before the design is frozen. We move beyond basic technical specifications to evaluate how materials perform under real-world conditions, sterilization cycles, and long-term environmental exposure, offering:
- Regulatory & Bio-compatibility Alignment: We cross-reference all selections against current FDA, EMA, and ISO standards (e.g., ISO 10993) to pre-emptively address compliance hurdles.
- Performance Stress-Testing: Evaluation of mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and degradation rates tailored to specific healthcare environments.
- Supply Chain Resilience: We select for quality and availability. Our process includes auditing vendors to ensure long-term scalability and cost-stability.
- Documentation: A comprehensive Biological Evaluation Plan (BEP) to describe and justify your specific test strategy.
