IETQAN Biocompatibility Testing
Hemocoamptibility
Hemocompatibility testing is a critical aspect of biomedical research and the development of medical devices, especially those that come into direct contact with blood, such as vascular implants, catheters, and artificial organs. This specialized testing assesses the compatibility of these devices with blood components to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Hemocompatibility tests typically evaluate how materials and devices interact with blood to avoid triggering adverse reactions like clot formation, hemolysis (red blood cell rupture), platelet activation, and inflammation. Ensuring hemocompatibility is essential to prevent complications in patients and to guarantee the reliability and functionality of medical devices, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing potential health risks associated with blood-contacting materials and devices.
