What is ISO 14242-3- Loading and displacement parameters for wear of total hip-joint prostheses about?
ISO 14242 discusses the wear of total hip-joint prostheses. ISO 14242-3 is an international standard that provides for loading and displacement parameters for wear of total hip-joint prostheses.
ISO 14242-3 is the third part of a multi-part series that layouts relative angular movement between articulating components, the pattern of the applied force, speed and duration of testing, sample configuration, and test environment to be used for the orbital bearing type wear testing of total hip joint prostheses.
Who is ISO 14242-3-Loading and displacement parameters for wear of total hip-joint prostheses for?
ISO 14242-3 on loading and displacement parameters for wear of total hip-joint prostheses is useful for:
- Hip-joint prostheses manufacturers
- Test centers for prostheses
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use ISO 14242-3-Loading and displacement parameters for wear of total hip-joint prostheses?
A hip prosthesis is a medical device that replaces a damaged hip point. The hip consists of a convex femoral head inserted into a concave acetabulum within the pelvis, cushion by articular with a synovial joint capsule. The orbital-bearing hip wear simulator (OBM) is widely used and has been successful in evaluating the wear properties of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) articulating surfaces.
The orbital bearing type wear-testing machines and corresponding environmental conditions for the test provided in ISO 14242-3 assist in standardizing the parameters and making results more uniform that are comparable between laboratories.
The orbital-bearing hip wear simulator (OBM) is widely used in evaluating the wear properties of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) articulating surfaces.
ISO 14242-3 guideline assists you with Reagents, test specimens, Apparatus, Procedure, Test report, and Disposal of the test specimen on Loading and displacement parameters for orbital bearing type wear-testing machines and corresponding environmental conditions for tests for wear of total hip-joint prostheses.
This assists in the proper assessment of total hip-joint prostheses that helps in achieving acceptable quality. In addition, it also ensures that the results are uniform and are reproducible in any laboratory.
