We have extensive experience in the assessment of cardiovascular implants, including surgical and transcatheter heart valves, annuloplasty rings and stents.  We are familiar with regulatory standards, and our laboratory is equipped with state of the art pulse duplicators and durability testing devices complying with the ISO 5840 and FDA guidance.

 

We perform flow measurement and flow diagnostic with a number of techniques, including PIV, as well as FEM, CFD and FSI analyses of medical devices interacting with physiological systems.

           

 

The laboratory is equipped with facilities for the treatment and testing of biomaterials, and we have full access to the advanced manufacturing capability at UCL Mechanical Engineering and expertise in the manufacturing of mock compliant cardiac chambers (e.g. polymeric aortic roots).

          

If you need to assess or analyse a medical device, we can support you with our expertise and facilities.
