ISO 13779-2: Implants for surgery – Hydroxyapatite – Part 2: Thermally sprayed coatings of hydroxyapatite

This umbrella standard summarizes the tests and requirements on thermally sprayed coatings of hydroxyapatite. EndoLab does perform morphology as well as mechanical test. The ISO standard references ASTM F1854 for morphology, ASTM F1044F1160 for static and dynamic strength.

EndoLab® has developed internal methods for exact determination of the HA thickness by video light microscopy and image analysis. Please feel free to contact our experts to discuss your test needs.
