Femur, absolute™ Osteo, 10 PCF Solid Foam with 16 mm Canal, Medium

Short Fiber Filled Epoxy is the simulated cortical bone material used for all of our absolute™ bones. Sawbones absolute™ bones are used as alternative testing media to human cadaver bone. Achieve confidence in your results with repeatable performance.

• Diaphysis cortical thickness ratio t/D = 0.33, 18 mm inner cortical diameter
• Hollow canal: 16mm (standard 3403: 13 mm)
• Low density cancellous: 10 PCF solid rigid polyurethane foam (standard 3403: 17 PCF)
• Thin walled cortical shell, regional variation in cortical wall thickness
• NEW low-density short fiber filled epoxy formulation, blue for easy recognition

Structural properties similar to osteoporotic femurs tested (no statistical difference)

• Axial Compression stiffness and failure load
• Medial-Lateral Bending stiffness
• Anterior-Posterior Bending stiffness
• Torsion stiffness

Cortical screw pullout load slightly higher than cadaver bone tested, read more about Evaluating the mechanical response of novel synthetic femurs for representing osteoporotic bone
