ADMET’s eXpert 8602 Axial-Torsion tester is well-suited for performing ASTM F543 – Test Methods for Metallic Medical Bone Screws. Per ASTM, this specification provides “performance considerations and standard test methods for measuring mechanical properties in torsion of metallic bone screws implanted in bone.” The eXpert 8602 equipped with ADMET’s MTESTQuattro (R) controller provides an efficient cost effective solution for performing F543 Annexes A1 thru A4.
In the video below, you’ll see the eXpert 8602 equipped with MTESTQuattro run two annexes of ASTM F543: A1-Test Method for Determining the Torsional Properties of Metallic Bone Screws; and A2-Test Method for Driving Torque of Medical Bone Screws. You will also see an MTESTQuattro generated report for annex A4-Test Method for Determining the Self-Tapping Performance of Self-Tapping Medical Bone Screws.
