ASTM F564 describes testing methods to determine the following mechanical properties of metallic bone staples:
- bending fatigue
- pull-out fixation strength
- soft tissue fixation strength
- elastic static bending
This specification characterizes the design and mechanical function of metallic staples used in the internal fixation of the muscular skeletal system.
