The winning Choice in Biomedical Testing The 858 Mini
Bionix® II testing system is designed around families of components, with
each family being planned to provide the most utility and functionality. Every
family is a complete, fully functional testing system.
Versatile
As testing needs and complexity
change, the system can be upgraded from a basic controller to a single-station
or multistation, computerized control system. The system is available as an
axial-only system, as an axial/torsional system or as an axial/rotational
system. MTS also offers a wide variety of extensometers, force transducers,
grips, fixtures, and environmental chambers that can be used with the 858
system.
The standard Mini Bionix II system is designed to easily
run fatigue cycles on biomaterials at frequencies up to 30 Hz. The standard
axial system configuration accurately measures and controls static and dynamic
tests. By adding a low-force transducer, the same system can easily and
accurately run soft-tissue tensile and fatigue tests in the milli-Newton range.
The axial/torsional system configuration adds the capability of controlling
torsional moments, while the axial/rotational configuration provides multiturn
rotational control or rate control for continuous rotation.
It is designed to fit conveniently on an existing
laboratory bench, saving valuable floor space. ^ TOP
The MTS 858 Mini Bionix II test system was specifically
engineered for:
- Testing Biomechanical Constructs
- Fatigue certification studies
- Bone, joint, and soft tissue studies
- Implantable orthopedic device studies
- External prostheses studies
- In vitro biomaterials studies
- Studies of other medical and dental devices where
material and structural properties of the device or device-tissue interface
must be known.
- Characterization of Biomaterial Properties
- Yield and ultimate strength
- Creep and viscoelastic characteristics
- Fatigue characteristics
- Fracture toughness and fracture mechanics
- Modulus of elasticity
- Poisson's ratio Wear characteristics
- Coefficient of thermal expansion
- Response characteristics
By including the torsional capability, the Mini Bionix II
