Dynatek Dalta

Since the 2005 release of the first Coating Durability Tester, designed to evaluate the durability of coatings on drug-eluting and other coated stents, there has been high demand for Dynatek's testers and contract testing services. The second generation testers include additional capabilities to address a wider variety of devices and testing techniques. The CDT2 allows for a larger range of sample lengths and diameters, as well as for complicated sample designs (bent, bifurcated, etc.), opening the door for testing of larger peripheral vascular stents, as well as complicated coronary and peripheral stents. In addition, the new design of the CDT2 readily accommodates laser micrometer use for sample measurement, allows for vertical or horizontal testing, and provides internal loop heating for better temperature control. Deployment access ports are also available, and provide for direct stent deployment into the pre-mounted sample vessels, allowing the CDT2 to be used for both acute-phase
