ASTM F2183: Standard Test Method for Small Punch Testing of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Used in Surgical Implants

This test method covers the determination of mechanical behavior of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) by small punch testing of miniature disk specimens (0.5 mm in thickness and 6.4 mm in diameter). The test method has been established for characterizing UHMWPE surgical materials after ram extrusion or compression molding; for evaluating as-manufactured implants after radiation crosslinking and sterilization; as well as for testing of implants that have been retrieved (explanted) from the human body.

email problems with office 365
Dear clients & partners,

Since the end of January, we have heard from some clients who use Office 365 that they are experiencing trouble receiving our emails. Our emails seem to be classified as phishing attempts and, therefore, never reach their inboxes.

If you are also waiting for a reply, please call us at +49 8031 2313230!

We look forward to hearing from you again and hopefully re-establish full communication.

The EndoLab Team
