What is Corrosion Analysis?
Corrosion analysis is a critical process involving durability and reliability tests on the metallic surfaces of medical devices and surgical instruments. Medical devices made of stainless steel or metal coatings are tested against effects such as autoclaving, thermal exposure, and corrosion. These tests are especially important to ensure the safe use of sterile and single-use medical devices, such as intravascular catheters.
What Is the Purpose of Corrosion Analysis?
- To evaluate the corrosion resistance of medical devices
- To determine the condition of metallic structures after autoclaving and sterilization
- To verify the compliance of devices with international standards
