Suture Tensile Tester – Product Description
The Suture Tensile Tester is designed to deliver accurate and repeatable test results for evaluating the mechanical strength and performance of surgical sutures. It helps manufacturers and testing laboratories assess suture quality and support compliance with applicable international testing standards.
Types of Tests
This advanced testing system can perform various tests, including:
Suture Breaking Load Test
Elongation at Break Test
Suture–Needle Detachment Strength (De-Swaging Test)
Optional Pouch Seal Strength Test for Sterile Medical Packaging
Advanced Testing Features
The Suture Thread Grip Set and Suture Needle Grip securely hold fine suture threads and delicate swaged needles during testing, helping prevent slippage. A precision load cell combined with a controlled-speed drive mechanism ensures smooth and consistent force application.
The computerized model offers features such as real-time graphing, test data collection, automated reporting, and PC or laptop connectivity. These capabilities make it suitable for quality assurance laboratories, research and development centres, and validation teams in the medical device industry.
