General specification for surgical implants made of silicone elastomer 1 Scope This standard specifies general requirements for chemical and biological properties, sterility, packaging and marking of surgical implants made of silicone elastomer. It does not specify specific indicators of the mechanical and physical properties of them. These implants are mainly intended for use in orthopaedic and restorative surgery. Surgical implants made of silicone rubber together with other materials are not included in the scope of this standard. 2 Normative References The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments (excluding corrections) to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply to this standard. However, parties to agreements based on this standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition applies.
