Lucideon, the international materials technology company, has announced that it has extended its collaboration agreement with the Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre (STC) to include wear testing of orthopaedic hip and knee implants.
The new agreement capitalises on the expertise of both companies in providing testing and analysis services to the medical device sector. It will also allow Asian orthopaedic implant manufacturers who export to the EU to have their products tested by an accredited European test house.
The collaboration builds on the work that the two companies have done over the past decade, providing testing of ceramic and glass tableware and tiles in Hong Kong and China.
