Ermüdungsprüfung BrustimplantateISO 14607:2024 describes in Annex C.1 the fatigue testing of breast implants under shear stress. The implant is placed between two horizontally arranged plates, and a static load of 50 N per implant is applied. Using an eccentric drive, one of the plates is moved back and forth, applying shear stress to the implant. The test is conducted over 6.5 million cycles at a frequency of 3.33 Hz. Afterwards, an optical rupture inspection is performed.

We offer this test as a service and can test six breast implants of various sizes simultaneously on our test rig. We would be happy to provide you with a quote.
