Test Equipment

The test equipment of Questmed GmbH is based on advanced technology. Furthermore, the test equipment is adapted to the latest standards constantly and we continuously working on the enhancement of the quality of the equipment. Our aim is to achieve the verification if the physical resistance of implants in conditions as close as possible to the in-vivo conditions.
We are convinced that physical and chemical testing of medical devices improves the security of implants for patients and furthermore that they can contribute to cost reduction in health care service.

We are running one highdynamic multiaxial test system, 17 dynamic test systems up to 10 kN, one knee wear simulator with two banks of three test stations and six multidevice cardiac implant test systems.
