MedTech Expert Explains Material Compatibility | Pressure Tested

What is material compatibility, and how is it different from biocompatibility? When should it be considered, and why does it so often get overlooked? Sabera breaks down what material compatibility really means, and why it plays a critical role in medical device performance. She explores how to select materials effectively, when compatibility testing should begin, and how repeated sterilisation cycles, coatings, and packaging can impact outcomes. She also highlights common mistakes, unexpected material behaviours, and what regulators and Notified Bodies expect to see, showing how a proactive approach can prevent failures, delays, and costly redesigns. #medicaldevices #medicaldevicetesting #materialcompatibility
