ADMET’s BioTense bioreactor helps researchers study cell adhesion and extracellular matrix motion
Medical device testing: Internal fixation vs. external fixation
Both internal and external fixation devices assist in proper bone healing. Despite this similarity, differences exist between devices and this is reflected in how they are tested.
ADMET testing machines are capable of multiple methods of testing fixation devices. This includes simultaneous Torsion and Tension testing and Torsion testing with a pulley counter balance weight. Read more.
MIT researchers working to develop biomimetic medical adhesive
Researchers at MIT, led by Professor Jeffrey Karp, are looking into the remarkable adhesive properties of Gecko feet in an effort to develop better adhesives for biomedical applications.
