Each TestBench station can be operated in either force or displacement control, offering the flexibility needed to perform long-term testing on devices or tissues that require stress or strain test conditions. Unmatched versatility in a multi-sample testing configuration • Available in either 2-, 3-, or 4-station configurations with a single shared computer •...

MULTI-AXIAL PERIPHERAL STENT TESTING 9400 MAPS INSTRUMENT The patented Multi-Axial Peripheral Stent (MAPS) test instrument is the only system available that simultaneously provides the complex loading conditions experienced by peripheral arteries arteries such as those required by ASTM F2942. Combining accelerated pulsatile fatigue with tensile, bending, and torsion modes of loading in a single test instrument, MAPS can be used to replicate the twisting and bending of the superficial femoral artery that results from motions during walking, running, or jumping. In a similar fashion, the test...

HEART VALVE ACCELERATED WEAR TESTING DURAPULSE™ HEART VALVE TEST (HVT) INSTRUMENT Setting the standard for accelerated prosthetic heart valve testing according to ISO 5840 test protocols, the DuraPulse™ Heart Valve test (HVT) instrument is capable of testing surgical or transcatheter heart valves at frequencies greater than 30 Hz. Available in 2-, 4- or 6-station configurations, the DuraPulse HVT provides independent sample control, enabling the removal and inspection of a single device without High-frequency performance and pressure control previously unachievable in heart valve durability...
