Femur, absolute™ Osteo, 10 PCF Solid Foam with 18 mm Canal, Large

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

Osteoporotic Femur with 10 PCF low-density cancellous, thin-walled low-density cortical shell, overall length 48.5 cm, and 18 mm hollow canal. Our absolute™ bones mimic the properties of human bones to help you easily and inexpensively simulate load and motion scenarios for medical device development and approval.
