Full turnkey or standalone services from early stage R&D to high-volume manufacturing

Tasks are performed quickly and efficiently. The company also provides external services to customers such as biocompatibility testing, accelerated ageing, or pre-clinical testing of devices in animal models. Performed by external partners, these services complete the turnkey solution and make BMT a one-stop-shop for medical devices.

If a customer only requires some services, and not a full package, these can also be ordered as a standalone service, which can be for instance a benchmark testing of a device or the proof of a certain product concept.
