Dynamic and fatigue test machine for stents and vascular protheses Bose ElectroForce Systems Group
ElectroForce® Stent/Graft Test Instruments
Using the patented high-bandwidth, low distortion Bose® linear actuator, the ElectroForce Stent/Graft test (SGT) instruments accelerate stent testing and provide multi-billion cycle reliability. SGTs increase crucial speed to market and test more devices simultaneously. These test instruments were developed in response to the needs of our customers. They have evolved through several design generations and have become the standard by which other durability test systems are measured.
The SGT verifies the fatigue life of vascular prostheses such as coronary and peripheral stents and thoracic and abdominal endovascular grafts under simulated physiological loading conditions.
ElectroForce® Multi-specimen High Cycle Fatigue Testing
To reduce time and costs for developing fatigue life (s/n) curves for NiTi, CoCr, and SS stent materials and structures, Bose has configured a series of multi-specimen test systems utilizing the versatility of ElectroForce® 3200 and 3300 test instruments.
Multi-axial Peripheral Stent Fatigue Test System
Bose Corporation has developed a multi-axis peripheral stent (MAPS) test instrument for stent applications in peripheral arteries. This programmable instrument simulates the complex loading that stents experience in the peripheral arteries. These include the renal arteries, the carotid arteries, and the femoral-popliteal arteries.
