Test for Spine Implant Structures in the ASTM F1717 Vertebrectomy Model

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM F1717 testing. This standard specifies materials and methods for static and fatigue testing of spinal implant assemblies in a vertebrectomy model.

For most combinations of spinal implant components, test materials may be specific depending on the intended spine location and the intended method of application to the spine.

This standard is intended to provide a basis for mechanical comparison between past, present, and future spinal implant assemblies. They allow comparison of spine implant structures with different intended spine locations and methods of application to the spine. These test methods are not intended to describe performance levels, as there is not enough information available to predict the consequences of using a particular device.

This standard specifies guidelines for load types and load application methods. Methods for three static load types and a fatigue test are described for the comparative evaluation of spinal implant assemblies.

This standard establishes guidelines for measuring displacements, determining yield load, and evaluating stiffness and strength of spinal implant assembly.

Some spinal structures may not be tested in all test configurations.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
