Specification for Total Finger Joint Implants
Describes the specifications for elastomeric flexible hinge finger total joint implants, used with and without metal grommets, exclusively intended for use in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints. Specifications pertaining to material, manufacture, performance requirements, dimensions, finish, markings, and packaging are covered. No ASTM standard for testing total finger joint implants is available, however the OIC can develop a custom test method tailored to the device’s intended use and applicable physiological loading conditions.
