You would like to carry out analyses of surgical implants according to the ASTM F1089 standard
What is the ASTM F1089 standard?
ASTM F1089 is a standard specification for assessing the corrosion resistance of stainless steel surgical instruments. It is used primarily to ensure the durability and safety of these devices in demanding medical environments.
It defines a test method for detecting corrosion-related failures in surgical instruments made of stainless steel, simulating conditions of use and sterilisation.
Why carry out analysis according to the ASTM F1089 standard?
Testing according to the ASTM F1089 standard is essential to ensure that the materials used in surgical implants meet high standards of quality and safety.
The corrosion tests specified by ASTM F1089 validate the regulatory compliance of medical devices. They also guarantee the durability and safety of stainless steel surgical instruments. Finally, they help to prevent corrosion-related failures, which could represent risks for the patient and generate costs for the manufacturer.
