About This Item
ASTM F2313 defines a specification for poly(glycolide) and poly(glycolide-co-lactide) resins intended for surgical implants with glycolide mole fractions of at least 70%. It is used to help frame material expectations for these bioresorbable polymer resins, supporting more consistent selection, quality control, and product evaluation. By focusing on the resin form and composition, ASTM F2313 helps manufacturers and purchasers align on a common technical basis for implant-related materials.
What is ASTM F2313?
This standard is a material specification centered on poly(glycolide) and poly(glycolide-co-lactide) resins used in surgical implant applications. Its title indicates a clear emphasis on resin composition, especially where the glycolide content is 70% or greater. In practice, ASTM F2313 serves as a technical reference for defining the resin type and the scope of material requirements that may apply to these polymer systems. It is most relevant when the goal is to compare, qualify, or procure implant-grade bioresorbable resins with a defined chemistry.
Where is ASTM F2313 used?
ASTM F2313 is commonly used in the context of medical polymer materials for surgical implants, especially where poly(glycolide) or glycolide-rich copolymers are involved. It is useful in material sourcing, incoming inspection, product development, and supplier qualification for resin intended for implant manufacturing. The standard is also relevant to teams working with bioresorbable components that depend on consistent polymer composition and controlled material properties. ASTM F2313 supports a shared specification point across technical, quality, and procurement workflows.
Why is ASTM F2313 important?
This standard matters because it gives buyers, manufacturers, and quality teams a defined reference for a specialized implant material class. ASTM F2313 can help reduce ambiguity in procurement and testing by identifying the resin type and its compositional boundary. That clarity supports more consistent evaluation of materials, better documentation, and smoother supplier communication. For products used in surgical implant applications, a clear specification can also support risk reduction and compliance-focused decision-making.
