Las Vegas – Lifespans demos Alfonso at AAOS 2023. Our one-of-a-kind technology is fast becoming a standard in the industry for R&D, marketing, and patient-specific implant development!
The Alfonso implant testing service uses our proprietary particle-based bone tissue and foam models to get simulation results up to 10 times faster than through traditional testing labs, often within the same day. Five of the top 10 implant manufacturers by global revenue already rely on Alfonso’s convenient and accurate results to save costs and speed up the design process.
Groundbreaking technology Alfonso’s proprietary particle-based computer model of bone tissue is the world’s first and only computational system capable of accurately simulating bone cracking and crushing phenomena – key predictors of implant failure. This makes it easy to filter out defective designs at an early stage, and focus on winners for final testing and regulatory submission.
