The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers orthopedic device approval testing for the manufacturers of orthopedic devices. Manufacturers design orthopedic devices to prevent and The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers ASTM F1223 testing services for manufacturers evaluating total knee replacement medical devices. Knee replacements have improved the lives of millions of people worldwide, and manufacturers are constantly testing their prosthetics to enhance the product’s performance and design. Our ASTM F1223-compliant services help manufacturers ensure their prosthetics address the specific needs of patients by testing the degree of constraint a patient’s knee replacement may need.

What is ASTM F1223 Testing?
The American Society for Testing and Materials developed ASTM F1223 to thoroughly evaluate the constraint and motion characteristics of total knee replacements (TKRs). During the testing process, technicians subject TKRs to specific loads in vitro conditions and observe the replacement’s reaction so physicians can make informed decisions on whom they recommend the product to.
About Our ASTM F1223 Testing Services
Our ASTM F1223-compliant testing services consist of the following types of tests:
Why is It Important to Evaluate the Constraint of TKRs?
A total knee replacement’s constraint, or ability to limit unwanted motion, is an essential factor in the prosthetic’s ability to perform as expected for extended periods. A TKR with an excessive amount of constraint will lead to discomfort for the patient and reduce the longevity of the components used in the implant.
