Migration Resistance – Fixation Effectiveness

Force required to displace the prosthesis within a mock artery.

Test Procedure

The endovascular prosthesis is deployed into the mock artery. Using a tensile strength machine a uniform rate of separation the endovascular prosthesis is pulled out from the mock artery and the peak force recorded.
