Catheters and Stents

Stent implants are becoming more and more common in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The stent is pushed through the artery just past the narrow passage with the help of a guide wire and a catheter and is then released. This stent is a thin mesh tube. It is cut from a tube by a laser or woven out of wire. Catheters are used for minimally invasive surgical procedures. Their use and functionality continues to grow, requiring complex component testing.

Important tests in the area of catheters and stents

Horizontal testing of catheter systems
Catheters are used for many reasons, including transporting microinstruments integrated in a patient's body. ZwickRoell offers the right testing system for horizontal testing of catheter systems.

Lubricity track force test
The coefficient of friction of cardiovascular and urological catheters must be tested when they are wet. ZwickRoell offers the right testing system to test the lubricity track force of catheters.

Testing on Stents
Stents are subject to heavy loads when inserted and left in blood vessels. These loads must be tested before the stents are used.
