Biaxial Testing of Medical Devices, Consumer Products, & Drug-Delivery Devices

Globally, the use of medical consumables continues to rise due to an aging population and the increasing prevalence of day surgeries. As the use of medical consumables continues to rise, the testing required to ensure that these products meet specifications also increases. Syringes and other medical products with Luer connectors are the most common medical consumables found in the industry, as they are used to connect a wide variety of medical products. Luer connections come in two forms: either a slip or tapered connection, or a threaded locking connection. Most commonly, Luer connectors are used to connect a needle to a syringe body or to connect various types of medical tubing (such as a catheter) to an IV bag, or a needle to catheter.
