A proposed ASTM International standard will be used to determine the fatigue strength of metallic components used in the development and manufacture of cardiovascular medical devices. Such devices include stents, heart valves, inferior vena cava (IVC) filters, endovascular prostheses, and other cardiovascular devices with metallic components. The proposed standard ( WK88773 ) will aid in the…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kate Chalfin, tel +1.610.832.9717; kchalfin@astm.org Release #11803 ###

ASTM International’s medical and surgical materials and devices committee ( F04 ) is currently working on a proposed standard on locking mechanisms for locking plate and screw systems. The systems described in the proposed standard ( WK88483 ) aid in the healing of bone fractures. The proposed standard will be used to evaluate and compare the mechanical properties of locking mechanisms used with…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kate Chalfin, tel +1.610.832.9717; kchalfin@astm.org Release #11792 ###

ASTM International’s medical and surgical materials and devices committee ( F04 ) has developed standard test methods to serve as a basis for mechanical comparison of small bone plates. Small bone plates, as detailed in this standard, are metallic plates used to fix far extremities in the human body, like fingers, toes, and areas in the cranium and upper face. According to ASTM member Joe Turner…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kate Chalfin, tel +1.610.832.9717; kchalfin@astm.org Release #11665 ###

A new ASTM International standard seeks to coordinate terminology relating to microphysiological systems. The standard, soon to be published as F3570, was developed by ASTM’s committee on medical and surgical materials and devices ( F04 ). Microphysiological system (MPS) models simulate the physiologic activities of organs and organ systems at the microscale, and use of this technology can ease…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kate Chalfin, tel +1.610.832.9717; kchalfin@astm.org Release #11484 ###

A new ASTM International standard will provide a test method related to sacroiliac joint fusion devices. The standard ( F3574 ) was developed by the committee on medical and surgical materials and devices ( F04 ). According to ASTM International member Nathan Wright, prior to this standard, sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion devices have not had standardized test methods. “Sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kathleen Chalfin, tel +1.610.832.9717; kchalfin@astm.org Release #11477

A proposed ASTM International standard test method will cover the determination of maturity, fineness, ribbon width, and specific surface area (micronaire) of cotton fibers. ASTM International’s textiles committee ( D13 ) is developing the proposed standard. This test method ( WK75782 ) focuses on cotton fibers from a loose, chemically untreated sample taken before harvest, during ginning,…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Nora Nimmerichter, tel +1.610.832.9815; nnimmerichter@astm.org Release #11267 ###
