Suture Diameter Tester

The Suture Diameter Tester is a precision instrument designed to measure the diameter of surgical sutures under controlled tension conditions. The suture is mounted onto a driving mechanism connected to a measurement system. A specified tension is applied using calibrated weights, and the device automatically measures the suture diameter at different positions.
Application
(1) Absorbable Sutures Testing
Used for diameter measurement of absorbable surgical sutures to ensure compliance with medical standards.
(2) Non-Absorbable Sutures Testing
Applicable to nylon, polyester, and other non-absorbable sutures for dimensional verification.
(3) Medical Device Manufacturing
Supports quality control and product validation in surgical material production.
(4) Research and Laboratory Testing
Provides high-precision measurement for development and testing of new suture materials.
Standards
(1)YY 1116: Absorbable Surgical Sutures
This standard specifies the requirements, test methods, and classification for absorbable surgical sutures used in medical applications.
(2)YY 0167: Non-Absorbable Surgical Sutures
This standard defines the technical requirements and testing procedures for non-absorbable surgical sutures used in surgical procedures.
