The only thing worse than starting something and failing… is not starting something

The Pilot Line Friction Tester (FRV) is a fully programmable friction testing system for catheters, guidewires, medical tubing, and other medical devices. By measuring the pull force required to draw a sample through a controlled pinch force, the FRV enables engineers to evaluate coating performance, compare lubricity between samples, assess coating durability, and validate manufacturing processes with repeatable, high-quality data.
