EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM F382 testing. This standard is intended to provide a comprehensive reference for bone plates used in surgical internal fixation of the skeletal system.
The standard specifies consistent methods for classifying and describing the geometric and performance characteristics of bone plates.
The standard also provides a catalog of standard specifications specifying the material; labeling and processing requirements; and standard test methods for measuring performance-related mechanical properties determined to be important for the in vivo performance of bone plates.
It is not the intent of the standard to describe performance levels or case-specific clinical performance for bone plates as insufficient information is available to predict outcomes or their use in individual patients for specific activities of daily living. Furthermore, it is not the purpose of the standard to describe or specify specific designs for bone plates used in surgical internal fixation of the skeletal system.
This standard may not be suitable for all types of bone plates. The user is cautioned to consider the conformity of the standard for a particular bone plate and its potential application.
This standard includes the following test methods used to determine the following bone plate mechanical performance characteristics:
Values stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
Multiple test methods are included in this standard. It should be noted, however, that the user is not obligated to test using all of the methods described. Instead, the user should only select test methods that are appropriate for a particular device design. In most cases, only a subset of the test methods described here will be required.
