ABOUT US
More than 25 years of experience
DR. STUR ENGINEERING CONSULTING provides services in the field of medical devices. We perform Finite Element Analyses (FEA) for all types of implants such as orthopedic (hip implants, knee implants, spinal implants, ankle implants, etc.), cardio-vascular devices (stents, stent grafts, heart valves, occluders, etc.) or dental implants.
With more than 25 years experience in testing and FEA in Biomechanics and all fields of common human implants, we are are happy to present some examples of FEA simulations and offer our services for interested implant manufacturers. The founder Dr. Stephan Stur (CEO) has a background in mechanical and biomechanical engineering and received his PhD in experimental and numerical examinations of coronary stents. By his membership at DIN, ASTM and ISO for many years he is familiar with the development and implementation of international standards in implantology. In the near future you will find some actual examples of Finite Element Analyses (FEA) of implant designs from different areas of application. The shown examples are just a short overview of the whole range of FEA simulations we provide. In general we perform FE Analyses with all standard implant types in all areas and apply as a rule actual standards and guidance (ISO, ASTM, FDA) to our FEA models. Furthermore our services can already be used during prototyping of implants and is also commonly applied for worst-case analyses of designs prior to mechanical testing for certification. In this field we have a close collaboration with testing laboratories. Dr. Stur is providing consulting services for implant testing and FEA and was asked for review in different orthopedic and cardio-vascular topics.
