2、he case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTESection 1.2 was editorially corrected in May 2015.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers the evaluati

3、on of thermoplastic poly-urethanes in both solid and solution form for biomedicalapplications. The polymers have been reacted to completionand require no further chemical processing.1.2 The tests and methods listed in this guide may bereferenced in specifications containing minimum requiredvalues an

4、d tolerances for specific end-use products.1.3 Standard tests for biocompatibility are included to aid inthe assessment of safe utilization in biomedical applications.Compliance with these criteria shall not be construed as anendorsement of implantability. Since many compositions,formulations, and f

5、orms of thermoplastic polyurethanes insolid and solution forms are within this material class, theformulator or fabricator must evaluate the biocompatibility ofthe specific composition or form in the intended use and aftercompletion of all manufacturing processes including steriliza-tion.1.4 Purchas

6、e specifications may be prepared by agreementbetween the buyer and seller by selection of appropriate testsand methods from those listed applicable to the specificbiomedical end use.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theres

7、ponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

BIOCOMPATIBILITYX2.1 The suitability of these materials from a humanimplant perspective is dependent on the specific application.The biolo

41、gic tests appropriate for the specific site, such asrecommended in Practice should be used as a guideline.X2.2 No known surgical implant material has ever beenshown to be completely free of adverse reactions in the humanbody. However, long-term clinical experience of use of specificcompositions and

42、formulations of this material class referred toin this standard has shown that an acceptable level of biologicalresponse can be expected, if the material is used in appropriateapplications.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with a
