In vitro skin irritation test for medical device

 

 

 

 

Biological evaluation of medical devices:
Standard Operating protocol (SOP) for in vitro skin irritation test with SkinEthicTM RHE model

 

CONTEXT

The in vitro skin irritation test with SkinEthicTM RHE model is designed for the prediction of acute skin irritation of medical devices by measurement of cytotoxic effects of extract (prepared according to ISO10993-12), as reflected in the MTT assay, on the SkinEthic Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) model.

 

MODELS

 

  SkinEthicTM RHE - Reconstructed Human Epidermis

 

 

PROTOCOL PRINCIPLE

SkinEthicTM RHE model can be used for in vitro skin irritation assessment for biological evaluation of medical devices.
