Overview
The ElectroForce® 9500 test instrument from Bose represents a major advancement in multiaxial motion simulation, and provides the coronary stent device manufacturer with a versatile in vitro laboratory testing system. The ability to use representative biomechanical motion data for the evaluation of fatigue durability of an entire stent structure, and then to compare that motion with finite element modeling and clinical studies is a critical step forward for systematic coronary stent design and validation.
Key Features
- Multi-mode capability -- Simulates multiple axes of motion simultaneously to replicate in vivo conditions
- Combines independently programmable dynamic loading, rotation, extension, and pulsatile distention on multiple stents under controlled conditions
- Capable of performing a simulated 10 year accelerated life test on up to twelve (12) specimens at one time

Multiaxial Test Versatility
The ElectroForce 9500 test instrument provides closed loop servo-electric control of the multiple axes of motion to simulate in vivo biomechanical conditions. The primary motions are: axial extension (stretch), torsion (twist), bending (flexion), and pulsatile distension (inflation/contraction) due to the cardiac cycle. Each axis of motion can be combined with other motions and adjusted for the proper phase between each motion, or run independently. Device manufacturers can now evaluate worst case conditions for a coronary stent design, or program a typical movement profile to perform a simulated 10 year accelerated life test on up to twelve (12) specimens at one time.
