Test systems for medical technology

Medical technology is subject to particularly high safety and quality requirements, as its products have a direct impact on people's health and well-being. To ensure the highest safety standards, not only surgical instruments but also their individual components must be mechanically tested.

In addition, innovative biomaterials such as bone cements, bone implants and replacement materials play a crucial role in improving patients' quality of life. Before these materials can be used in medical practice, they must be subjected to strict quality controls.

Hegewald & Peschke offers customized testing solutions for a wide range of requirements in the medical technology sector, which enable precise, reliable and efficient testing of materials and components.

Torsion tests on insulin pens

Universal testing machine inspekt table 10 kN with torsion module

The inspekt table 10 kN universal testing machine is equipped with a torsion module that was developed for tensile and torsion tests on medical products such as insulin pens.

Maximum torsion force (Mmax): 4 Nm
Maximum tensile force (Fmax): 1 kN

Test sequence

The torsion test is performed at a defined target speed of 360°/min. The following test steps are carried out:

Torsional movement at a specified rotational speed.
Synchronous movement of the crosshead, either:
- over a specified stroke of 8.6 mm or
- by load control (hold 0 N).

Testing of rubber and elastomers according to ISO 37

Tensile testing machine inspekt table with long distance extensometer L1100

Industry: Automotive industry, medical technology, construction industry

The ISO 37 or ISO 037 test standard deals with the determination of the tensile strength and elongation of rubber and elastomers. The standard ensures that the mechanical properties of the two materials are tested under standardised conditions so that the results are comparable. The results ensure that products made from these materials meet the required specifications and quality standards.
