The relationship between a biomaterial's structure and its
mechanical properties is assessed through mechanical testing and simulation.
Instron's innovative Biopuls™ solutions provide the necessary versatility
to ascertain the details of these complex relationships. For test requirements,
including hardness, impact and wear, the following section illustrates how
Instron is working with its customers to address the challenges of biomaterials
testing.
