The Catheter Guidewire Friction Tester is designed to accurately measure the frictional forces between catheters and guidewires. It is a critical tool for medical research and surgical practice, helping clinicians and engineers understand the movement behavior of guidewires and catheters within the human body. The device provides reliable data to optimize surgical procedures, improve catheter design, and enhance patient treatment outcomes.

Application

This tester is suitable for a wide range of medical devices and scenarios, including:

(1) Vascular catheters – assessing friction during navigation through blood vessels.

(2) Guidewires – evaluating smoothness and performance in different sizes and coatings.

(3) Interventional cardiology devices – testing guidewire-catheter interaction for stent delivery or balloon angioplasty.

(4) Neurovascular procedures – verifying low-friction performance for delicate cerebral interventions.

(5) Peripheral vascular interventions – assessing devices for minimally invasive surgery.

(6) R&D and quality control – optimizing material, coating, and design for improved surgical outcomes.

Standards

The instrument is designed to comply with the following standards:

(1) YY/T 1536-2017: Cardiovascular guidewire test method (China)

(2) ISO 11070: Sterile single-use intravascular catheters – Performance testing

Optional international standards for extended compliance:

(3) ISO 10555-1: Sterile single-use intravascular catheters – General requirements

(4) ASTM F2084: Guidewire mechanical performance testing

Features

(1) Measures friction force accurately between catheters and guidewires.

(2) High-precision force and displacement sensors capture real-time data.

(3) Stepless adjustable test speed to simulate different clinical scenarios.

(4) Adjustable chuck size accommodates a variety of catheter and guidewire diameters.

(5) Compact design suitable for laboratory and R&D use.

(6) Data acquisition system records force-displacement curves for analysis.
