Virtual implant testing
Digital verification of patient-specific implants
Simq VIT
FDA and MDCG want medical device manufacturers to take more responsibility for custom implants.
The solution is digital verification of custom implants. Future-proof, simple, fast and compliant with the new regulatory requirements.
Simq VIT is the first easy-to-use software for digital verification of patient-specific implants. By virtually applying physiological or standardized loads to a patient-specific situation, the performance and safety of implants can be verified quickly and efficiently based on objective criteria.

Simq VIT at a glance
Target: Test custom implants with simulation
- Support for decision making in the design process
- Selecting different workflows within the software for different implant types and anatomical regions
- Increased safety for OEM, doctor and patient
- Development of additional workflows within the software for manufacturer-specific implants
- Visualization of the acting loads and forces on the individual implant restoration
- Automated report generation based on FDA guidelines for technical documentation
The challenge with patient-specific implants is, on the one hand, to meet all regulatory requirements and, on the other hand, to design, verify, produce and provide the surgeon with a suitable implant for the restoration in the shortest possible time in collaboration with the surgeon treating the patient.
With Simq VIT, we can incorporate safety-relevant information into the design and check it against physically tested implant variants with just a few clicks. In this way, we manage the balancing act between complying with regulatory requirements and helping patients as quickly as possible.

FAQ
There is a basic fee and a pay-per-use model that you can customize to suit your needs. Please contact us for more information.
Yes, of course, we have implemented many privacy and security features (only encrypted, pseudonomized geometry data is sent to the infrastructure). Furthermore, it is possible to host our Azure infrastructure as a “Managed Application”. This means that data sovereignty always remains with our customers.
Yes, the software can be used for almost every region of the human and animal body.
If a customer wants a specific workflow, we can implement it and expand the library. We can perform the V&V for the models together with the customer or ourselves. We are currently working on implementing workflows for dentistry, mandibular preprosthetics, hand orthotics and TMJ.
Simq VIT supports the design process of implants and is not a medical device. With our FDA compliant report, which is always adapted to the latest changes, the technical documentation of our customers is always up to date.
Simq VIT comes into play where decisions are made
More than a 3D simulation software
Simq VIT – selected anatomical regions
Mandible
This workflow was developed for the anatomical region of the mandible to simulate the muscle and joint reaction forces in interaction with an individual implant restoration, thus creating valuable information on strength and safety for the clinician and patient.
Thorax
Due to the very complex movements of the thorax, it was previously difficult to design necessary supplies of the bony structures with implants accurately and according to the loads. This workflow within Simq VIT creates a solution and at the same time more safety for the patient.
Maxilla
Maxillary implants have been used successfully for many years. However, the patient-specific fabrication possible today requires close scrutiny. Simq VIT in conjunction with the MAXILLA workflow was developed precisely for this purpose and answers questions regarding the strength and safety of customized restorations.
