As research institute and service laboratory, the RMS Foundation’s team of highly qualified specialists searches to a wide variety of problems. The RMS has completely up-to-date research facilities for concentrated, project-related work.

The main focus of the Foundation’s activities centres on pro-jects and orders in the fields of biomechanics, biocompatibility of materials and methods, material technology, innovative manufacturing processes, and performance tests of implant systems for the treatment of skeletal lesions. The recognition
of problems, problem solving, and the breaking of new ground, require not only constant research, but also a clear concentra-tion on one’s own strengths. This is how the Foundation’s multidisciplinary team applies all its specific experience to the development of new materials, to the verification of research results obtained by its own teams and others, and to the testing of new ideas. 

Its object is to engage in a continual process of development and a constant search for innovative solutions, in order to improve standards in medical devices and surgical techniques.

In teamwork partnership with interested research groups from research institutes, clinics, and companies, the RMS endeavours to find efficient and innovative solutions to problems. As an independent non-profit organisation, it has a certified quality management system in accordance with EN ISO 9001:2001. Standard services have been accredited to SN EN 17025.

In material technology and testing, the RMS provides specific experimental investigations, advisory services, and training to all who wish to make use of them.
