Femur, absolute™ Osteo, 12.5 PCF Solid Foam with 16 mm Canal, Large

Osteoporotic Femur with 12.5 PCF low-density cancellous, thin-walled low-density cortical shell, overall length 45.5 cm, and 16 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.

• Thin walled cortical shell with regional variation
• Large hollow canal: 16mm 
• Low density cancellous material: 12.5 PCF solid rigid polyurethane foam
• Low density cortical material: Absolute Osteo

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

This model includes a complimentary digital CAD download to support your planning and design needs. You can find the file link in the Documents section below. 3D CAD models can be especially helpful when sizing implants or other hardware for workshops or biomechanical study, and they include only external anatomy. Sawbones digital files are available in STL and STEP formats and are created using high-accuracy 3D scans of our physical molded bones. Please note that due to subtle manufacturing tolerances, the 3D data may not perfectly match every molded bone—dimensional variations of up to two percent are possible.
