Implants for surgery — Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene — Part 5: Morphology assessment method
This document specifies the test method for assessing the morphology of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) moulded forms as defined in ISO 5834-2.
The assessment of morphology of UHMWPE moulded forms is not required in routine monitoring of validated moulding process because alternative test methods defined in ISO 5834-2, such as density and mechanical properties, already provide reasonable, redundant assurance of successful consolidation.
This document is not applicable to UHMWPE powder forms, which are described in ISO 5834-1.
NOTE Performance requirements for this test method have not been established.
