Resistance to damage by flexing

May 23rd, 2020

A guidewire can be subjected to flexing or bending during clinical use. The guidewire shall not be damaged and device characteristics shouldn’t be changed to guarantee the intervention success.

This procedure describes the testing to be performed on guidewires to evaluate resistance and damage due to flexing.
