The device is a testing instrument that enables rapid control of the separation forces between surgical needles and sutures used during the creation of surgical sutures.

This process is performed in accordance with the standards set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).

The device consists of two components: the body and the weight set.

The body of the device is the section where the weights used to measure the separation force are placed. It features a universal needle holder and a special low-friction SKF bearing and linear guide for error-free
testing without damaging the surgical suture.

Surgynique Pull Tester works with dead weights which are provided according to USP standards. The system can easily be validated with dynamometer. The low friction linear guides prevents exceeding forces. The
system has a very smooth universal jaw system in order to prevent damage in the sutures. With the aid of low additional forces, the system helps to decrease the scrap rates in the testing process.
