We offer radial force characterization services to assess critical parameters such as Radial Resistive Forces (RRF) and Chronic Outward Forces (COF) for medical devices. Our services include customizable sequences tailored to the Instructions for Use (IFU) and engineering evaluations. With the capability to test bore openings from 0.5mm up to 50mm in diameter and up to 120mm in length, we provide versatile solutions for a range of device sizes. Additionally, the tests can be conducted at controlled temperatures (37°C) to replicate physiological conditions.
The standard methodology we follow for radial force testing is
ASTM F3067 (radial loading of vascular stents).
Radial force tests are often conducted alongside other mechanical and thermal tests, such as tensile tests and DSC measurements. This approach offers a comprehensive evaluation of device performance and the mechanical properties of your processed material.
