Laboratory analysis of your surgical implants according to the ASTM F90 standard

Medical industry, you want to analyze your surgical implants according to ASTM F90

What is ASTM F90?

ASTM Specification F90 specifies the requirements for wrought cobalt-20 chromium-15 tungsten-10 alloy used for surgical implants. The properties specified apply specifically to wrought bars, rods, wires, sheets and strips, but do not apply to surgical fixation wires.

Why analyze your surgical implants according to ASTM F90?

The analysis of your surgical implants according to ASTM F 90 allows you to verify the conformity of your materials. Indeed, several parameters must be respected:

  • bright annealed finish
  • cold drawn
  • pickled, ground or ground and polished, as specified by the buyer.

In addition, alloys must meet specified values for :

  • ultimate tensile strength
  • yield strength
  • elongation 
  • micro cleanliness, etc…

Thus, the support of a laboratory specialized in the analysis of your surgical implants in compliance with the ASTM F90 standard is a considerable asset.
