MST Medical Compression Stocking Tester

Product Overview

The MST Medical Compression Stocking Tester is a specialized instrument designed to evaluate the compression performance, elasticity, and durability of medical-grade compression stockings. It ensures compliance with healthcare standards by quantifying pressure distribution, hysteresis loss, and fabric resilience under repeated stress cycles.

Type: Automated textile testing system for medical compression wear

Key Metrics:

Compression Pressure Range: 15–50 mmHg (adjustable)

Pressure Accuracy: ±1 mmHg (ISO 13994 standard)

Elastic Recovery Rate (%): 95% min (AATCC 139)

Sample Size: 30×300mm (calf segment simulation)

Applications: Garment manufacturing, clinical research, quality assurance

Key Features

Dual Test Modes:

Static Mode: Measures initial compression pressure

Dynamic Mode: Simulates walking motion (5–120 steps/min)

Advanced Analysis:

Pressure gradient mapping (ankle to knee)

Hysteresis loss calculation (ΔP vs cycles)

Real-time fabric strain visualization

Compliance:

ISO 13994 (Medical compression garments)

AATCC 139 (Textile elasticity)

YY/T 0561 (Chinese medical hosiery standard)

Alkalmazások

Quality Control: Batch testing of graduated compression stockings

R&D: Developing pressure-mapping hosiery for lymphedema

Clinical Research: Validating therapeutic compression levels

Forensic Analysis: Evaluating garment failure in patient care

Standard Operation Workflow:

Sample Preparation: Cut 30×300mm specimens from sock/tube

Clamping: Secure sample in vacuum chuck with 20 N force

Parameter Setup: Select test mode (static/dynamic) and cycle count

Testing: Run pressure cycle (10–100x) with real-time monitoring

Analysis: Generate pressure distribution heatmaps

Safety Precautions:

Avoid contact with sharp clamps during loading

Use medical-grade gloves when handling used samples
