Introduction of application examples for material testing of surgical products.

Instron is a leading global supplier of mechanical testing systems suitable for tensile, compression, bending, peeling, tearing, friction, torsion, and fatigue tests. Hospital and surgical products are often consumables designed for single use by patients. Catheters, guidewires, venous lines, tubes, and wound closure products such as bandages, sutures, and staples all fall into this category. Mechanical testing of these products is particularly important to ensure that characteristics such as appropriate tensile strength, low friction force, and sufficient elongation are suitable for their intended use. 【Features】 ■ Reliability ■ Expertise ■ FDA Compliance ■ Space-saving Design *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We provide a fixture package to test all ten items of ISO11040-4!

Pre-filled syringes are generally tested based on ISO 11040-4. Glass syringes are more susceptible to breakage than plastic syringes, so a wider variety of tests are required based on ISO 11040-4. There are a total of ten annexes within ISO 11040-4, each requiring different testing methods. Some of the annexes require rotational motion, so the "ISO 11040-4 fixture" is designed to be compatible with simple tensile, compression, and Torsion Add-On systems. [Strengths of Instron Testing Machines (Partial)] ■ The fixtures are designed to perform various tests with minimal fixtures. ■ The fixtures adopt a modular design to minimize the number of necessary parts. ■ Instron's service department supports the introduction of testing machines. ■ Reduces operator training time. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Other embedded systems (software and hardware)

Introducing application examples of material testing for parts and components of medical products, as well as final products.

Instron is a leading global supplier of mechanical testing systems suitable for tensile, compression, bending, peeling, tearing, friction, torsion, and fatigue tests. In many cases, mechanical testing of pharmaceutical products consists of tests for pill crushing, hard and flexible package testing, syringes, autoinjectors, and vials, as well as testing of drug delivery systems such as inhalers and transdermal patches. Mechanical testing of these products is particularly important to ensure characteristics such as appropriate dosage, drug delivery time, package integrity, and safety requirements of the package, such as child-proof opening mechanisms. 【Features】 ■ Reliability ■ Expertise ■ FDA Compliance ■ Space-saving Design *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

It is a testing machine with a space-saving design that allows for the simulation of the twisting characteristics of products in real-use environments, thereby reducing the time required for product development.

The latest Torsion Add-On 3.0 is designed to enhance laboratory capabilities by allowing simple axial and torsion testing in one unit for the desktop models of the 6800 series and 5900 series. It expands product development capabilities and can simulate applications under actual use conditions. Many international testing standards, such as ISO11040-4, ISO80369, and ASTM F543, require control in both axial and torsional directions, making it possible to consolidate the necessary functions into one unit and streamline the testing process. It is ideal for testing the performance of various consumer products, packaged products, medical products, electronics, and automotive parts. ◆ Features Simulates the product's actual use environment Enhances product development speed Saves laboratory space

[Speaker] Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Innovation and Environment Bureau Deputy Director, GX Investment Promotion Division, Yuki Kamitani [Key Lecture Content] In the rapidly changing international situation surrounding decarbonization, I will introduce the overall policy of Japan's GX (Green Transformation) policy. One of the pillars of the GX policy is the GX Strategy Regional System, which was established in August of last year. This system aims to create new GX-type industrial clusters centered around industrial resources such as complexes and decarbonized power sources by integrating support through GX financial resources with regulatory and institutional reforms. I will provide an overview of this system. [Lecture Topics] 1. International situation surrounding GX 2. Overall picture of Japan's GX policy 3. About the GX Strategy Regional System 4.
