ASTM F2606 Test for Three-Point Bending of Balloon Expandable Vascular Stents and Stent Systems

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM F2606 testing. This standard provides guidelines for quantitatively characterizing balloon-expandable stent and stent system flexibility using three-point bending procedures.

ASTM F2606 Test for Three-Point Bending of Balloon Expandable Vascular Stents and Stent Systems

Guidelines are provided to characterize deployed stent flexibility and pre-deployment stent system flexibility in the stent and balloon region.

This standard is not recommended for test items that cannot be properly evaluated using a minimum 4:1 aperture length to stent outer diameter ratio (as tested). Test items that do not meet this requirement are likely to exhibit significant deformation by modes other than bending.

This standard does not provide procedures for characterizing the bending flexibility of self-expanding stents, self-expanding stent systems, endoprostheses (stent-grafts), or endoprosthesis systems.

However, some aspects of this manual may be useful in developing suitable three-point bending characterization procedures for these devices. Although this guide was developed with vascular stents and stent systems in mind, it may be useful for characterizing the bending flexibility of balloon-expandable stents and stent systems used in non-vascular applications.

Values ​​stated in SI units will be accepted as standard. The values ​​in parentheses are mathematical conversions to inch-pound units, which are not considered standard and are provided for informational purposes only.
