Suture Tensile Tester

The Suture Tensile Tester is a multifunctional, high-precision device intended to assess the mechanical strength and integrity of medical and surgical sutures. It conducts tests such as Suture Breaking Load, Elongation at Break, Suture-Needle Detachment (De-Swagging), and an optional Pouch Seal Strength Test.

Ideal for medical device manufacturers, quality control labs, and R&D teams working with absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. 

Included :

  1. Suture Thread Grip Set. 
  2. Suture Needle Grip.  

Not - Included :

  1. Seal Strength Test Fixture (TF-TEN-TG-SK or TF-TEN-TG-DK)

Standards: USP 881 / ASTM F88

Lead Time : 8 weeks

Suggested Accessories / Test Fixtures :

Suture Tensile Tester

This is multi-purpose instrument designed to perform the following using standard (included) test fixtures: :

  1. Suture Breaking Load – Measures the tensile strength of sutures to determine how much force they can withstand before breaking.
  2. Elongation at Break – Assesses  how much the suture stretches before it snaps.
  3. Suture-Needle Detachment (De-Swagging) – Tests the bond strength between the suture and its attached needle.

It can also perform the following tests using optional (extra) test fixtures:

  1. Seal Strength Testing – Evaluates the integrity of heat-sealed pouch joints (Aluminum Pouches or Paper-Poly Pouches).
