BDC Laboratories

Our Mission

The mission of BDC Laboratories is to offer products and services to the medical device industry that aid in functional evaluation of technologies as related to clinical outcomes.

 

Company History

Biomedical Device Consultants was formed in 1977 by Dr. Steven Weinberg as a consulting company, to provide general R&D services to the medical device industry. To meet the needs of BDC’s domestic and international clients, a GLP engineering testing laboratory was established in 1985. By combining the laboratory and consulting services within a single company, the clients of BDC Labs obtain the benefits of over 30 years of medical device development and testing experience in one company. In 2006, Dr. Craig Weinberg joined the company bringing an influx of new energy and technology to the business. In 2007, a second facility was opened in Wheat Ridge, Colorado to accommodate the expanding capabilities and business. From this foundation, along with our highly technical personnel, BDC Labs is capable of providing support in all aspects of product development and evaluation for developmental and regulatory activities.

 

BDC has been active in the professional community for over 30 years. Dr. Steven Weinberg was one of the founding members of the Society for Biomaterials and has long standing relationships with biomaterials experts in all aspects of blood and tissue contact biomaterials and biomaterials testing. Furthermore, the BDC team continues to be active members in multiple standard organizations including The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), The International Standards Organization (ISO) and The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

BDC’s sister company, Biomedical Development Laboratories offers contract product and process development support in Class II and Class III medical devices in the area of expanded PTFE (ePTFE). BDL’s capabilities include design and manufacturing of all ePTFE manufacturing equipment necessary to manufacture ePTFE based disposables and implantables.
