Biological Safety Consulting
Biological Safety Consulting provides a structured, science-driven approach to ensuring that materials, devices, and systems are safe for their intended biological use and compliant with global regulatory expectations. This service integrates biological risk assessment, testing strategy development, and regulatory alignment to support ISO 10993 series requirements and FDA guidance.
At Materials Metric, we support biological safety evaluation across polymers, metals, ceramics, coatings, nanomaterials, and tissue-contacting systems by translating material chemistry, exposure conditions, and intended use into clear, defensible biological safety pathways. Our consulting helps clients identify data gaps, minimize unnecessary testing, and generate evidence-based justifications that withstand regulatory review.
