EndoLab® has decades of experience with custom test procedures. We develop test protocols based on literature analysis, as well as on our own database. Test setups are realized by up to date 3D CAD software (CATIA), high precision measurement equipment and our own software development. Our accredited quality system according to ISO 17025 guarantees valid and reproducible test results for your benefit.
A number of EndoLab® test procedures have been adapted by international standards, such as ASTM and ISO.
Loading of peripheral vascular implants is known to be of multiaxial nature. While standard fatigue testing of stents simulates radial compression at high test frequencies, knee bending or motion of internal organs can cause mechanical stresses at a much lower frequency. EndoLab® has developed a test frame that allows for bending, tensile, rotational and radial stresses simultaneously. Of course the device is a multi-station test frame offering environmental control.
