Suture Needle Penetration and Bending Strength Tester
The Suture Needle Penetration and Bending Strength Tester is a device used to test the penetration performance and strength of medical suture needles. Designed and manufactured according to relevant standards ASTM F3014-2014 and ASTM F1874-98. this tester simulates the penetration process of a suture needle during actual use. Using a high-precision force sensor, it measures the force exerted on the needle tip as it penetrates simulated tissue, thereby evaluating the penetration performance and strength of the suture needle. It has wide applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, and quality control fields, and is crucial for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of surgical suturing procedures.
Applications
Quality Control for Manufacturing Enterprises: During the production of suture needles, the tester can conduct sampling tests on each batch of suture needles, promptly identifying quality issues in the production process, such as unstable raw material quality or defects in processing techniques. This enables timely adjustment of the production process to ensure the stability and consistency of product quality. Selecting Appropriate Suture Needles for Medical Institutions: Medical institutions can use the tester to conduct performance tests on different types of suture needles, and based on the test results, select the suture needles that best meet the surgical needs of patients, thereby improving surgical effectiveness and patient safety. Product R & D and Optimization: R & D personnel in the medical device field can use the tester to evaluate the performance of the design of new - type suture needles. By testing the strength and puncture force of suture needles with different structures, materials, and dimensions, they can optimize the design of suture needles and develop products with better performance.
