ISO 7206 – Implants For Surgery

Description

ISO 7206  Implants For Surgery — Partial and total hip-joint prostheses

Part 10: Determination of resistance to static load of modular femoral heads

ISO 7206 specifies methods of determining the compressive (fracture) or the tension (disassembly) loads required, under specific laboratory conditions, to cause

failure of a modular head system.

This document applies to components made of metallic and non-metallic materials, such as femoral heads of partial or total hip-joint replacements of modular

construction (i.e. a head/neck conical taper connection).

A dynamic testing machine and the ISO 7206 fixture are required to perform this test.

The lower portion of the test specimen is first embedded in a solid medium.

A cyclic load is applied to the head of the specimen, producing two-plane bending and torsion, until the specimen breaks or until the chosen number of cycles is

attained.

*** Before conducting this ISO standard  , it is important to read the entire specification. Standards can be obtained from appropriate standard authorities.

***PARSROS  offers several types of grips and fixtures which will enable you to perform a variety of tests  that

are accurate and repeatable
