What is Irritation Testing?
A key component of biocompatibility testing is irritation testing, which directly assesses the potential of a material or product to cause localized irritation upon contact with sensitive tissues. Irritation testing is performed in vivo, and evaluates whether a material or product may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, or mucosal tissues.
Why Irritation Testing Matters
In addition to safeguarding the health of the patient, irritation testing is a regulatory requirement for medical devices. We perform testing in compliance with ISO 10993-23 standards to ensure product safety and compatibility with human tissue.
