Industry Product Tested Test Type

Medical device manufacturers operate in one of the world’s most competitive and highly-regulated industries, where patient safety is critical. Lives can hinge on bringing innovative new products to market as soon as possible, whilst still ensuring compliance to standards, product reliability and traceability of production.

Mecmesin force & torque test systems are ideal for testing the physical strength of all kinds of medical devices. Whether it is testing the glide force of syringes, the torque integrity of Luer connectors, the actuation force of drug delivery devices, the strength of prosthetic joints & bone screws; Mecmesin testers provide you with an easy-to-use and affordable solution.

Our test software ensures traceable results with full storage of raw data, a robust audit trail, full operator security and guaranteed repeatability. Test with confidence to ASTM, BS EN, ISO, DIN, CEN, Ph. Eur. and USP standards
