The coefficient of kinetic friction plays an important role in the biocompatibility of urinary catheters. A method for determination of the in vivo coefficient of kinetic friction is described that allows the comparison of the catheter-urethral interaction of the various materials used in the production of urinary catheters and the different types of lubricants.
Based on the test need of many medical device manufacturers, Recently, Labthink customized a coefficient of friction tester with heated platen for Urinary catheters.
