ISO 16402 applies to resin cements based on poly(methacrylic acid esters) and specifies the procedure for determining the fatigue behavior of the polymerized cement. This applies to bone cements used to fuse implanted prosthetics to the bone. The method of testing consists of flexural fatigue and quasi-static bending.
Bend test machine, capable of applying loads up to 200 N which optionally can increse linearly or can cycle sinusoidally over a range of loads between 0 N and the selected value at a frequency of 5 Hz. By means of our testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the solution that is right for you. Give our test engineers a call today for help configuring the best test machine and accessories according to ISO 16402.
