Article Synopsis
- The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) currently only tests spinal implants in physiological saline, which may not accurately reflect real-life conditions.
- Researchers conducted a study to find an industrial lubricant that mimics the properties of human body fluids, aiming to improve the accuracy of mechanical testing for spinal implants.
- The findings indicated that Castrol GTX3 motor oil closely resembles the lubrication found in living tissues, leading to a new standardized testing proposal that enhances safety and reduces misinterpretations.
