A1.4 Significance and Use

A1.4.1 This test method describes a static bending test to determine the bending stiffness and bending strength of the central and uniform portions of an IMFD.

A1.4.2 This test method may not be appropriate for all types of implant applications (that is, in proximal or distal extremity of an IMFD where screw holes exist). The user is cautioned to consider the appropriateness of the method in view of the devices being tested and their potential applications.
