Standard Test Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices
This test method covers the measurement of static and fatigue strength of intervertebral body fusion devices (IBFDs) and subassemblies. The purpose of this test method is to provide a way to characterize the mechanical properties of different IBFD designs.
• Static and dynamic axial compression test
• Static and dynamic compression-shear test
• Static and dynamic torsion test
