Model AE-3 Surgical / Medical Needle Tester

Acculine Engineering’s model AE3 Needle/Wire Testers are used for testing strength, ductility (bend to fail) and sharpness testing on a variety of products and materials. Custom tooling has been developed specifically for testing surgical needles, hypodermic needles, precision medical wire and tubing products. Our testing methods conform to ASTM standards.

Data is collected from linear force or rotary torque measurement sensors and can be displayed in real time graphs. The data and graphs can be stored in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. This data can be used for Statistical Process Control (SPC) or for new product research and development.
