Suture Tensile Tester

Suture Tensile Tester provides accurate and repeatable results that are important for the medical industry and to conform with international standards. 

This advanced system performs a wide range of tests including: 

• Suture Breaking Load 

• Elongation at Break 

• Suture–Needle Detachment Strength (De-Swagging Test) 

• Optional Pouch Seal Strength Test for sterile medical packaging 

The Suture Thread Grip Set and Suture Needle Grip keep instruments secure. They hold even the finest suture threads and delicate swaged needles without slipping. A precision load cell combined with a controlled-speed drive mechanism provides smooth and consistent force application as per international standards. 

The computerized model provides real-time graphing, test data collection, automated reporting and connection with a PC or laptop. This makes it perfect for quality assurance labs, research and development centers, and validation teams in the medical device industry.
