The Biomomentum’s multiaxial mechanical tester is a versatile device suitable for biomaterial, tissues and soft materials. Due its modular design and small footprint, it is easily adaptable to a large range of loading applications including compression, tension, shear, friction, torsion and indentation mapping.
