Pulse and infinite pulse-on-a-bend fixtures for ElectroForce® 9110 SGT systems are used to perform fatigue durability tests on single and overlapped coronary stents.

Key Features

Pulse-on-a-Bend option

  • Fittings adapts to silicone or latex tubing for 2.5 mm to 5.0 mm ID
  • Up to four combinations of tube diameter to centerline bend radii can be utilized

Infinite adjustment option is also available for the 9110 SGT model

Overview

Mean_Pressure_Controller

The TA Electroforce mean-pressure controller upgrade allows ElectroForce® SGT systems to control internal system pressure through the use of compressed air and a servovalve.  The upgrade also provides off-system heating and fluid flow through a pump.

Key Features

  • Easily run pressure controlled tests
  • Maintain a constant mean pressure throughout your stent graft tester
  • Controller automatically turns off if fluid level drops too low, protecting heaters
  • Pump heated liquid through your system, providing better heat distribution to all test stations
  • An extra pressure sensor is included to measure pressure within the mean pressure controller

The mean pressure controller assembly comes pre-built and includes:

  • Pressure sensor
  • Liquid level sensor
  • Pump with tubing
