What is ISO 5834-3 - Accelerated ageing methods for ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene about?
ISO 5834 is an international standard that discusses ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene for surgical implants. ISO 5834-3 provides the best industry guidance on accelerated ageing methods for ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene to prolong long-term chemical and mechanical stability.
ISO 5834-3 is the third part of a multi-part series that specifies a test method for investigating the oxidative stability of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) materials as a function of the processing and sterilization method.
