SWT-01 Surgical Suture Diameter Tester
SWT-01 Surgical Suture Diameter Tester, designed according to USP 861 (The United States Pharmacopeia), YY1116-2020, YY0167-2020, is used to determine the diameter of absorbable and non-absorbable surgical sutures suitable for suturing and ligating human tissues.
Product Features
Compliance
- Conforms to USP 861 (The United States Pharmacopeia), PRC YY1116-2020 (Absorbable surgical sutures), YY0167-2020 (Non-absorbable surgical sutures)
- Freely moved to multiple points with 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 for measurement; multifilament sutures with specifications greater than metric size 2, the sutures can be rotated 90° and measured again without removing.
Stability
- Adopt grating displacement sensor instead of micrometer, with one ten-thousandth accuracy and good stability.
Convenience
- Manual loading, electric tensioning, multi-point automatic measurement
- Solve the problem of replacing weights for each specification, innovatively adopting the high-precision force sensors to automatically set the tensioning force, easy to operate.
- Equipped with test and stop shortcut buttons, one key test and pause.
Intellectualization
- 7-inch HD color LCD screen, display test data in real time.
- Touch operation: nominal specification, test load, print, test, left move, right move time, calibration.
- Recording of suture diameter data, output of data reports automatically, and printing of test results by micro-printer.
- Equipped with standard RS232 interface, which is convenient to PC connection and data transmission.
- With a powerful data storage function, which can store up to 10,0000 test records.
Safety Protection
- Over-travel protection, overload protection, power failure memory for safe operation.
Data Security (optional)
- Equipped with a four-level user security password policy to ensure the security of test data.
- The computer software fully complies with the requirements of GMP "Computerized System" and has functions such as user management, authority management, and data audit tracking.
