The following information is provided to assist the FDA in conducting Market Research to identify potential contractors for providing the equipment described below. Millions of medical device implants are inserted into patients every year and prematurely fail because of material fatigue. Furthering understanding of the fracture of materials commensurate with development of test methods for evaluating fractures in medical devices will advance regulatory science and improved medical safety. As a result of recent approval by Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) to expand Winchester Engineering and Analytical Center's (WEAC) collaborative stent project with Massachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT), there is a need to have stents implanted into porcine coronary arteries to determine and understand the conditions that lead to stent fractures and the vascular response to these fractures. The Health assessment and interventional services must be performed by a company in close proximity to WEAC and MIT (located within a 15 minute drive). Services required will include:.Tissue perfusion and fixation. Radiographs. Histomorphometry. Histology. Histopathology. Deliverable (report).
