ASTM F2502: Standard Specification and Test Methods for Absorbable Plates and Screws for Internal Fixation Implants.
This specification and the associated test methods outline the mechanical characterization of plates and screws made from one or more hydrolytically degradable polymer resins or resin composites designed for orthopedic internal fixation. The testing approach is based on ASTM F543 and F382, with a particular emphasis on the properties of absorbable materials.
For this test, the pH value must be constantly monitored. Even slight shifts can influence the behavior or material response, leading to unreliable results. Maintaining a stable chemical environment isn’t just a box to check—it’s a continuous task that demands vigilance and control.
