Guide Wire Tip Softness Tester

Main Uses of the Guidewire Tip Flexibility Tester

The guidewire tip flexibility tester is a specialized device used to evaluate the flexibility of the tips of medical guidewires. Its main uses include: - **Ensuring Quality and Safety in Clinical Use**: By testing the flexibility and bendability of the guidewire tip during puncture procedures, it ensures that the guidewire can smoothly enter blood vessels or other target positions and adapt to different puncture angles and bending situations, thus improving the effectiveness and safety of puncture operations. - **Assisting Manufacturers in Quality Control**: In the medical device manufacturing field, this tester can be used by manufacturers for quality control of guidewire products, ensuring that guidewire products meet relevant medical standards and regulatory requirements. - **Biomedical Research and Bioengineering Applications**: The tester can also be used to measure the flexibility and bendability of various biological materials, evaluate the toughness of biological stents and biological materials, and provide technical support for biomedical research and the bioengineering field.

Technical Data

- **Testing Speed**: It can be adjusted within a certain range, such as 3mm/min or 8mm/min. Some testers can reach 100mm/s and can be set arbitrarily with stepless speed regulation, and the speed accuracy can reach 0.01mm/s. - **Displacement Range and Resolution**: The displacement range is generally 0.001 - 40.000mm, and the displacement resolution is 0.001mm. - **Force - measuring Mechanism**: Mostly built - in, using high - precision force sensors. - **Control System**: Commonly, there is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The operation interface is generally a color touch screen, which can be switched between Chinese and English. - **Clamping Device**: It is used to fix the guidewire tip to ensure the stable position of the guidewire during the testing process. It is generally made of high - quality materials such as 304 stainless steel.
