ISO 14242-2 Implants for Surgery-Wear of Total Hip Joint Prostheses-Measurement Methods

This part of ISO 14242 specifies methods for assessing wear of the acetabular component of total hip joint prostheses using gravimetric techniques and changes in the dimensional shape of the components tested according to ISO 14242-1 or ISO 14242-3 as appropriate.

The test sample is immersed in a lubricant. It is repeatedly removed from the lubricant, cleaned, dried and weighed until a constant liquid absorption is achieved. The test specimen is then evaluated for wear by testing for mass loss in a knee-hip simulator. A loaded, jointless control sample is intended to allow fluid absorption and is subjected to the same procedure for reference purposes.
