Wear Particle Analysis

With current research being conducted on ceramic, metallic, polymeric and elastomeric devices, 6° of Freedom has developed custom techniques and protocols to conduct analysis on wear particles (debris) obtained from these devices following biomechanical fatigue testing and biomechanical wear testing. This pioneering work has established 6˚ Degrees of Freedom as an internationally recognised leader in this highly specialised field.

With major device manufacturers now conducting intensive research on both Phagocytosis and Pinocytosis, the accurate analysis and separation of wear particles (debris) has led to 6˚ Degrees of Freedom developing new protocols related to this ongoing research.
