OSTEOSYNTHESIS PRODUCT TESTING
In bone fractures, the fractured areas need to be held together for healing. Plates, screws, pins, wires, external fixators, and biodegradable plates and screws can be used to hold the fractured area together. The strength of the osteosynthesis products used in the body is crucial for complete healing and the preservation of patient health.
International standards and regulations have published test standards to determine the durability of the products used. The main mechanical tests we perform, adhering to the ISO 17025 standard, are as follows:
- Flat Bone Plates: ASTM F382
- Angled Orthopedic Fixation: ASTM F384
- Intramedullary Devices: ASTM F1264
- External Fixators: ASTM F1541
- Biodegradable Plates and Screws: ASTM F2502
- Bone Screws: ASTM F543
