Curved Needle G900 Test Systems
The Grande Curved Needle Testing System is built on the G900 system platform and is ideally suited for needles used in abdominal, fistula, vascular, intestinal, or other surgical procedures. This system provides two different needle testing solutions: one for curved needle puncture testing and one for bend testing. The curved needle puncture testing fixture is used to evaluate needle sharpness and insertion force, while the needle bend testing fixture is used to evaluate flexural properties of the needle during use. With its tabletop design, the Curved Needle Testing System has a small footprint and takes up minimal bench-top space. The testing system operates with Instron
Grande software that provides test control, data acquisition, test results, and reports, as well as a large library of calculations.
