22、Therefore, each manufacturer of such material(s) has devel-oped its own proprietary method(s) for doing so. The end resultof this variation is that some of the mechanical properties ofextensively crosslinked materials currently used for orthopae-dic implant applications exhibit a wide range of value

23、s. Whenthis is coupled with the fact that the limiting value for anyspecific mechanical property necessary for clinical success isyet unknown, a listing of such data for these materials iscurrently impractical. It is more useful and practical to describestandard methods suitable for characterizing t

Alternative tests may beconsidered with documented analysis and rationale.5.2.3 Mechanical and Physical AssessmentPart 2Thetests shown in Table 2

25、should be conducted on the extensivelycrosslinked UHMWPE. Alternative tests may be considered,such as electron spin resonance (see Appendix X1) withdocumented analysis and rationale.5.2.4 Preclinical SimulationFunctional testing on the fin-ished UHMWPE component that simulates clinical functionsand

26、known failure modes should be considered. Testing thatshould be considered include creep, accelerated aging, orshelf-life testing, or combinations thereof, functional fatigueloading, and wear as described in Guide F2759.

Keywords7.1 fabricated forms; powdered form; ultra-high molecularweight polyethyleneAPPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. RATIONALEX1.1 This guide is intended to

32、describe the minimum set ofrequired test methods that are necessary to fully characterizethe physical, chemical, and mechanical behavior of anirradiated, extensively crosslinked UHMWPE material that isintended for use in orthopedic or spine implants.X1.2 In 1995, the Food and Drug Administration pub

33、lisheda guidance document for the characterization of UHMWPEmaterials (1).5Since that time, extensively crosslinked mate-rials have been developed, and the 1995 FDA guidancedocument has been withdrawn, but is available upon request.Therefore, one of the expected uses for the current ASTMguide is to

34、provide guidance to regulatory bodies and orthope-dic manufacturers by identifying a standardized set of testmethods for characterizing extensively crosslinked UHMWPEmaterials.X1.3 While it is currently possible to identify which testmethods are necessary for characterizing extensively cross-linked

35、UHMWPE, it remains impractical to assign minimumacceptable values for each test method. For many of thesemethods, the association between the properties measured andclinical performance is currently unknown. Therefore, it is theresponsibility of the manufacturer to develop its own minimumdataset for

36、 its process of producing extensively crosslinkedUHMWPE, using the test methods in this guide for processvalidation.X1.4 Although the test methods listed in Table 1 areintended to be the minimum data set necessary for processvalidation with an extensively crosslinked UHMWPE material,they are not all

37、 intended to be performed routinely duringquality control. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer todevelop a specification for its material, and to identify which ofthe test methods listed in Table 1 will be performed routinelyfor quality control purposes.X1.5 Fatigue resistance is a desirabl

38、e property for exten-sively crosslinked UHMWPE materials. Table 1 lists fatiguecrack propagation tests, in accordance with Test Method E647,as the reference test method for this attribute. However, certainlinear elastic fracture mechanics principles (for example, theassumption of the plane strain co

39、nditions), which underlie themethods of fatigue crack propagation assessment outlined inTest Method E647, are not strictly applicable to ductilepolymers, such as UHMWPE, regardless of whether or not thematerial has been extensively crosslinked. Therefore, theinterpretation of fatigue crack propagati

40、on test data for UHM-WPE is currently limited, because the results of such tests arespecimen-geometry specific. Furthermore, there is some debatein the literature about which are the most useful properties tomeasure for highly crosslinked UHMWPE during fatigue crackpropagation testing, such as the e

41、xponent during the Parisregime and/or K inception value (2-4). If, in the future, amore relevant fatigue characterization test can be identified forUHMWPE, it may be incorporated into Table 1.X1.6 Similarly, analysis of free radicals is also considered tobe important for extensively crosslinked mate

42、rials. Electronspin resonance spectroscopy is currently considered to be themethod of choice for quantifying the concentration and type offree radicals in UHMWPE, however a standard has not yetbeen developed for this purpose. Until such time as a standardmethod for measuring free radicals in UHMWPE

43、has beencreated (at which point Table 1 will be updated), the reader isreferred to the literature for details related to this procedure (5).X1.7 Although this guide lists a minimum number ofcharacterization tests for an extensively crosslinked UHMWPEmaterial in Table 1, this guide does not purport t

44、o address all ofthe functional testing that a manufacturer should perform toevaluate the fatigue and wear performance of a particulardevice. Device testing is recognized to be crucial for UHM-WPE implants, but is beyond the scope of this guide.5The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list o
