ASTM F648-07 Standard Specification for Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Powder and Manufactured Form for Surgical Implants

This specification covers ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder (UHMWPE) and fabricated forms intended for use in surgical implants.

ASTM F648-07 Standard Specification for Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Powder and Manufactured Form for Surgical Implants

The requirements of this specification apply to UHMWPE in two ways. One is raw polymer powder. The second is any form made from this powder, from which a finished product is then produced. This specification addresses material properties and does not apply to the packaged and sterilized finished implant.

The provisions of Specification D 4020 apply. The specific requirements detailed in this specification have been added to define the material to be used in surgical implants. The biological response to polyethylene in soft tissue and bone is well characterized by its history of clinical use.

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 and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
