Dynatek Announces Off-Axis Stent And Stent-Graft Testing

SPRINGFIELD, MO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- September 18, 2006 -- Dynatek dalta Scientific Instruments has improved its accelerated durability testing by developing testing that provides anatomically representative vessel designs in testers that better replicate physiological fluid dynamics. This off-axis testing integrates unidirectional fluid flow as would be experienced in vivo, while providing accelerated pulsation. The result is an environment where stents and stent-grafts experience loading from the cyclic expansion and contraction of the vessel, as well as from the interaction of the fluid with the device.
