Cetim: serving the biomedical industry
Fatigue of components and structures

Complete service for the biomedical industry - From design to validation
You would like to:
- Develop your innovative products to meet the needs of the market
- Characterise your parts or process with a view to optimising them
- Validate the performance of your implants as part of particular experimental references or standards.
High-performing environment for following the development of your medical devices, with skills in the following areas:
- Standard processes: forge, machining, shaping by distortion, etc.
- Innovative processes: high speed powder compacting, additive processes, etc.
- Materials: help in the choice of metals, plastics, composites, etc.
- Simulation (use of the leading major market codes).
- Mechatronics (development of a special sensor, functionalisation of your product).
Customised expertise for medical devices:
- Metallurgical and / or tribological analyses, characterisation of surfaces and coatings.
- Failure analysis (corrosion, wear, fatigue, etc.).
- Consulting services on cleaning technology, cleanliness check.
- Metrological testing, topographic analysis.
An entire team dedicated to implementing your tests:
- Design office integrated into the laboratory.
- Development of single or multi-axial fatigue, wear or static benches.
- Assistance in choosing an experiment protocol for implementing in accordance with the purpose of the test, in using and capitalising on the results.
- Static or fatigue tests on all types of implant: Hip, wear, knee, shoulder, spine, dental, etc.
Broad spectrum of skills adapted to solve your problems.
Comprehensive management and project monitoring adapted to your requirements.
Cofrac environment for tests on hip protheses and dental implant (accreditation COFRAC - No. 1-1006 - Scope available on www.cofrac.fr).
Implants put to severe testing

( Cousin Biotech)Test protocols tailored to each implant
( Newclip Technics) ()Tests – Products reliability
Qualifying, characterising in order to make sure that the product will fulfil the expected function, but also in order to optimise its performance or to implement quality control: the tests carried out by Cetim apply to all mechanical fields, from the most general to the most specialised one.
Cetim’s experts perform a customised service, from simple standard tests to the design of specific test benches.
