Granta and ASM International provide reference data for applications including cardiovascular implantable devices

Manage materials data, whatever your medical device application

Speed the design of new and improved devices

Highlights

Find and re-use critical materials application knowledge, including from previously approved (i.e., 'predicate') devices – reduce time, cost, and risk in design and certification
Drive innovation – implement a systematic approach to analyze, screen, and select materials for new device designs
Guarantee traceability of data for regulatory audits and to support quality process improvements
Increase productivity – prevent duplication or data loss from testing; deploy corporate materials knowledge enterprise-wide so that all design teams can benefit

Example solutions for medical devices

Managing mission-critical data

The data that you generate in materials testing and quality assurance can be critical. You need the right data for use in design and decision-making, you need it up-to-date and accurate, and you need it deployed to designers and engineers in a secure, controlled, but easily usable manner. And you need the data to be fully "traceable" so that any design decision can be audited. Granta can help. More...

Finding comprehensive, authoritative reference data

You also need the right reference information from approved, authoritative sources to inform selection, substitution, qualification, regulation, and bio-compatibility, as well as for design calculations. How do you find and apply this materials knowledge? Problems include the fact that it is scattered over many different papers, publications, and databases, that it becomes quickly outdated, and that it is fragmented - e.g., engineering property, biocompatibility, and application information are rarely found in the same source. A unique new database from Granta and ASM International solves these problems. More...

Selecting polymers for medical applications

If you specify plastics for medical applications, you may face the following challenges: How do you ensure an audit trail for your material selection? How do you conduct an exhaustive search for the most suitable materials? How do you make that search reproducible? How do you navigate the wide choice of commercially available plastic and elastomer grades? Granta has the answers. More...
