Archus Orthopedics - Product Info

Product Info :: Construct Strength

Goal

Ensure TFAS® strength under static and dynamic loading.

Conclusion

In tests simulating a lifetime of durability, TFAS® was shown to withstand more than twice the maximum loads expected after implantation without breaking or dislocating.

TFAS® Static Strength

TFAS® Fatigue Strength

Tested per ASTM F-1717 (modified)
Fatigue testing to 10 million cycles
Supports 2-3x maximum static in vivo loads
Supports = 2x maximum fatigue in vivo loads
Integrity of the construct & interconnection mechanisms at 10-million cycles
No dislocation or failure under maximum static loading
