The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) evaluates mobile bearing knee designs in compliance with the ASTM F2722 testing standard. Knee replacement surgeries are common procedures that have helped millions of people address their knee pain. Independent labs, like Applied Technical Services, work alongside knee replacement manufacturers, ensuring their designs are properly vetted to confirm that their safety and performance are compliant with industry standards.
What is ASTM F2722?
The American Society for Testing and Materials develop ASTM F2722 as a resource for experts evaluating a knee replacement’s tibio-femoral joint’s mechanical performance. The standard’s objective is to effectively assess the in-vitro performance of materials being considered for use in knee joint replacement prostheses. The standard is only intended to evaluate mobile knee tibial designs with a rotational stop, and it is adept at comparing performances between different mobile bearing knee designs.
