Abstract:Development of medical products begins with the “in silico” phase, where the development and simulation of new stent types is carried out. This is followed by the “in vitro” phase. Here, tests are done in a test stand to obtain initial conclusions about the interaction of the environment. The approval process is completed in the “in vivo” phase, where testing in living beings happen. Here, preclinical studies are carried out in animals first, followed by clinical studies on patients. A big part of the developm… Show more
