Title
Standard Specification for Composition of Hydroxylapatite for Surgical Implants
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 10, 2003
Scope:
This specification covers chemical and crystallographic requirements
for hydroxylapatite intended
for surgical implants. For a material to be called hydroxylapatite, it
must conform to this
specification. (See Appendix X1.)
The biological response to hydroxylapatite in soft tissue and bone has
been characterized by a
history of clinical use (1-3) and by laboratory studies (4-6).
This specification includes powder, particulate, and forms intended
for use as surgical implants,
components of surgical implants, or as raw materials for manufacturing
processes such as thermal
spray coating, electrophoretic deposition, physical vapor deposition,
and so forth.
This specification specifically excludes hydroxylapatite coatings,
amorphous calcium phosphate,
ceramic-glasses, tribasic calcium phosphate, whitlockite, and alpha-
and beta-tricalcium phosphate.
(See Specification F 1088.)
Keywords:
- bioceramic
- bone graft
- hydroxylapatite (HA)
- hydroxyapatite
- tricalcium phosphate (TCP)
- whitlockite
