This standard applies to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) yarns used as raw materials for medical device components (such as sutures or ligament fixation). The purpose of this standard is to describe the required properties and the test procedures to be followed for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene yarns used as raw materials for medical devices. This standard is not intended to address the testing required for medical devices or components of medical devices processed from the raw materials specified in this standard. See Appendix A for the basic principles of this standard. This standard uses the International System of Units. This standard does not cover other units of measurement. The following warning text applies only to the test methods section of Chapter 6 of this standard: This standard does not attempt to address all safety issues involved, even those related to its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and operating practices and to clarify the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to application.
