Physical Strength Test on Medical Masks

Medical masks are heavily used all over the world both by medical staff in hospitals during operations and contact with patients, and by the public who use them as face masks to avoid contamination during sickness.

To make sure that the medical masks are safe to use and contamination is avoided, testing the strength of the ties of the masks is a critical factor. If the ties break during use, contamination is more likely to happen. If the ties break when you apply them the mask cannot be used and money have been wasted.

Testing the physical strength of the ties of the medical mask in accordance to standards such as GB / T19083-2010, will ensure that the ties can withstand the force used when applying the mask, and that the constant force that is added when the mask is in use will keep the mask intact.

The LS Series is well adapted in production environments within the medical device industry to perform tensile testing as well as compression, peel and flexural/bend testing, and it has been used for testing medical masks and similar medical devices across the world for decades. In combination with the NEXYGENPlus materials testing software, user level authority setting, data traceability and built-in audit trail function makes the LS Series ideal for use in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries.
