Title
Standard Specification for Rigid Polyurethane Foam for Use as a Standard Material for Testing Orthopedic Devices and Instruments
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 10, 2001
Scope:
This specification covers rigid unicellular polyurethane foam
for use as a standard material for performing mechanical tests
utilizing orthopedic devices or instruments. The specification is
applicable to sheets or blocks of foam, or foam that is made by the
user using a two-part liquid mixture.
This specification covers polyurethane foam material that is
used in the laboratory for mechanical testing, as described in 1.1.
These materials are not intended for implantation into the human
body.
The foam described herein possesses mechanical properties which
are on the order of those reported for human cancellous bone. See
Appendix X1 Rationale for further information regarding the
appropriateness of using the specified foam as a model for human
cancellous bone.
This specification covers compositional requirements, physical
requirements, mechanical requirements, and test methods for rigid
polyurethane foam in the solid final form.
This specification provides qualification criteria for vendor or
end-user processes and acceptance criteria for individual material
lots.
This specification provides mechanical properties of five
different grades of foam in the solid final form. A foam that does
not meet the specified mechanical properties shall be identified as
an ungraded foam.
Unless otherwise indicated, the values stated in SI units are to
be regarded as standard. The values in parentheses are given for
information only.
The following precautionary statement pertains to the test
method portion only, Section 8, of this specification: This
standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if
any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user
of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
