platforms to address specific needs of our customers. We have significant
experience working with a variety of biomaterials such as synthetic
polymers, collagen, and ceramics.
Our design and development team includes experienced engineers,
scientists, technicians, and toolmakers. Together, they generate
unique solutions through the integration of laboratory research, in
vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo feasibility
testing, prototype development and manufacturing. Research and
development projects are performed under design controls in accordance
with U.S. and international standards. KNC works with our customers
to develop project schedules that included well-defined tasks and
milestones to reduce risk and minimize time-to-market.
