Applications
The catheter flexibility tester is mainly used to evaluate the flexibility and durability of catheters or guidewires during bending or twisting processes. This equipment is widely applied in medical, industrial and other fields to ensure the safety and reliability of catheters during use. In the medical field, it is particularly suitable for evaluating the flexibility and durability of medical catheters such as blood vessel catheters, urinary catheters, and biliary catheters, ensuring that they will not cause harm to patients during use. In the industrial field, it can be used to assess the flexibility of catheters transporting fluids, gases and other media in different environments, ensuring their good performance during use. In addition, in fields such as aviation and automotive, the catheter flexibility tester is also used to evaluate the flexibility and durability of catheters under different temperature and pressure conditions.

Test Procedures
1. Insert the intervention catheter into the test pulley system and secure it, ensuring the correct spacing.
2. Adjust the vertical spacing of the test pulleys to maintain a constant test distance.
3. Connect one end of the catheter to the traction head, ensuring the traction head guides the catheter at a constant speed.
4. Monitor the force value change curve during the test using computer software.
