Lucideon is a materials development and commercialisation organisation, providing regulatory testing and novel method development services to Medical Device Manufacturers.
With sites across the US and in the UK we have built our reputation on providing a mixture of rich data and results interpretation for medical device regulatory testing, including wear and fatigue testing, debris analysis and cleaning validation, and by providing non-routine test method development for a range of device types and purposes.
We understand that not all devices are built the same, and that standard testing cannot always provide reliable results. We also know that advances in technology and manufacturing processes can often leave standards having to play catch up, and manufacturers left without adequate guidance. That is why as a group of engineers and materials scientists we utilised our many years of experience to offer services that go beyond routine testing.
When standards are not available or are not adequate for the device, Lucideon is the name chosen time and again by the leading names in medical device manufacturing to develop methods which ensure products meet regulatory requirements and keep patients safe.
We don’t just provide the data, we support your submissions with the rationale that can only be done by a dedicated team capable of developing these unique methods for the purpose of gaining regulatory approval.
Our key offerings include:
- Joint implant wear testing and tribology
- Static and fatigue testing
- Cleaning and sterilisation validation
- Additive manufacturing support
- HA coating validation
- Failure analysis and troubleshooting
- Bone cement and substitution development support
- Ion leaching testing
- Coating process and materials development

How we work
We add the most value when we become an extension to the teams that we work with. Our strongest relationships often begin with a simple conversation to determine where the pressure points are and where Lucideon’s services can help. Our experts are engaged from any early stage, before any commitments are made, to help reassure our partners of our experience and that we are the right laboratory of choice. From this point we remain engaged with our partners’ teams, providing both routine and non-routine services as and when needed at various points of their product life-cycles.
So get in touch to discuss what we can offer for you. A simple conversation can open up so many possibilities.
