ABSTRACT:
A tool for multi-axis mechanical testing of medical implant devices includes a plurality of pins arranged to form a contacting surface with a sample holder. The pins maintain rolling contact with the sample holder during a bending phase of a fatigue cycle and reduce the effects of friction and localized differential strain on the sample holder.
