ElectroForce® 9400 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.
Peripheral arteries have greater bending, twisting, and stretching motions than coronary arteries, so stents placed in peripheral arteries will undergo greater stresses and strains. Agencies such as the US FDA and ISO recommend that stents being considered for use in peripheral arteries be analyzed and pre-clinically bench tested under those combined loading conditions prior to regulatory approval.
Bose has developed a new test instrument capable of simulating the multiple axes of displacements to replicate in vivo conditions. This system is capable of combining dynamic bending, rotation, extension/compression, and radial distention on multiple stents under controlled conditions. The instrument is capable of testing an accelerated 10 year simulated life, or performing fatigue to fracture studies.
