Cousin Biotech validates an innovative implant with “in vitro” tests
In July 2018, for the first time, Cousin Biotech fitted a patient with its new implant intended to treat male urinary incontinence. The validation of this ground-breaking medical device made of silicone and textile required very specific tests conducted by Cetim’s biomechanics experts.
Alongside the company established in the north of France, Cetim defined the stress protocol and the representative test environment to test this new product and designed a specific bench reproducing the basin where the implant is placed and its operating kinematics in a salt water environment at 37°C. During the tests, several tens of thousands of gradually increasing loading cycles were applied, thereby simulating the operation of the implant for 15 years. The test concluded that the new implant is fit for service.
