Standard Specification for Composition of Medical-Grade Hydroxylapatite for Surgical Implants
STANDARD published on 15.4.2023
Why Redline?
A PDF redline is a quick and easy way to compare all of the changes between the current, active standard and the previous version.
With a redline you'll immediately see:
Save Time and Trouble!
With a Redline you no longer have to spend time trying to determine what has changed in the new standard! Redlines save you time and ensure you see what the changes are to the standard.
Price
When you select the "Active + Redline" option you get both documents! Best of all, the cost of an Active + Redline is only slightly more than buying the Active Standard by itself.

This specification covers chemical and crystallographic requirements for hydroxylapatite intended for surgical implants. Elemental analysis for calcium and phosphorus will be consistent with the expected stoichiometry of hydroxylapatite. The calcium and phosphorus contents shall be determined using a suitable method such as ion chromatography. A quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis shall indicate a minimum hydroxylapatite content of 95 %. The concentration of trace elements such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead shall be determined for hydroxylapatite derived from natural resources. The analysis of other trace elements may be required, based on the conditions, apparatus, or environments specific to the manufacturing techniques and raw materials. Either inductively coupled plasma/mass spectroscopy (ICP/MS), atomic absorption (AAS), or the methods mentioned shall be used.
