BDC Laboratories

The team at BDC are a great team and very engaged staff. This is incredibly important for the level of testing and quality of testing services they provide (life/fatigue testing, stent testing, heart valves, etc.). Many tests using devices such as the ones i've had subjected to their testers, are extremely unique. Their staff and their owner Craig are incredibly attentive to this and ensure that all testing performed are done with the utmost detail and attention.
Their pricing is very competitive as well considering the caliber of tests they do perform. I have no doubts of my data when discussing with their team my results and have successfully filed with the final results provided by their labs with the FDA and CE bodies.
They also have the capability to manufacture their own in-house silicone mock vessels to your specific requirements (as i have requested for in the past)

Strengths: Excellent and attentive staff. Great quality of work and thorough understanding of the testing they are doing as well as the customer requirements. Excellent pricing

Strengths: BDC offers products and testing services to the medical device industry that aid in the mechanical and functional testing of medical device technologies as they relate to clinical outcomes. They are very experienced in their ability to identify the best testing regime for your product, and are willing to work with your engineers closely to determine proper, not canned, parameters to suit your needs.
