Standard Specification for Acrylic Molding Resins for Medical Implant ApplicationsMore info
1.1 This specification covers acrylic resins supplied in virgin form (typically pellets, powder, or granules) for medical implant applications. The co-polymers are limited to random co-polymers. This specification provides requirements and associated test methods for this thermoplastic when it is intended for use in manufacturing implantable medical devices or components of medical devices.
1.1.1 While a variety of co-monomers may be used, the composition of the resin shall contain poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as its primary ingredient. Classification D788 defines an acrylic molding compound as “having at least 70% of the polymer polymerized from methyl methacrylate.” The terms PMMA and acrylic as used herein refer generically to both the homopolymer and to co-polymers as defined above.
