Great resources even if some of the equipment is a bit older. It all works and you can get the data collected that you want. Great people to work with and very responsive to emails.
Strengths: They have the ability to test using cadaveric tissue. This is rare when test houses but great when you need to do in-situ testing to really see how your device performs. In addition, they have the ability to perform x-ray scans while still on the load frame, perform follower load testing as well as bending for spinal implants.
They have a large resource with Brown University as well as Rhode Island Hospital.
Needs to improve: Because they support many different implant body locations, a bit of your own expertise can be required to get a good study.
My start up uses RIH to test and evaluate our prototype medical device and were happy to have such guidance from such a high level team. They are a tremendous resource for those in orthopaedics to utilize their facilities in their continuing product research and development. They offer a wide variety of services and deliver superb analysis and work product. They work in collaboration with the bioengineering lab at Brown's Medical School, which provides in added level of industry knowledge. Will definitely use them again.
Strengths: Industry expertise, short lead times, high quality results
Needs to improve: None
A great resource for those in orthopaedics to utilize their facilities in their continuing product development. We reached out to the RIH to test and evaluate our prototype sports protective equipment and were grateful to have such guidance from such an expert team. They offer a wide spectrum of services and deliver quality analysis and work product. They work closely with the bioengineering lab at Brown's Medical School and are truly a great resource. Will continue to support and enlist the services of.

Ask for the cajun chicken pizza at lunchtime!
Strengths: Good staff. Deep understanding of the spine, knee, and shoulder. Excellent access to local clinicians, but very willing to have you bring your own. Super fast turn-around if needed. Good access to tissue.
Needs to improve: So-so access from far away (via TF Green Airport).
