1. Scope

1.1 This specification describes total wrist implants, including solid ceramic implants, used to provide functioning articulation by employing radial carpal components.

1.2 This specification excludes those implants with ceramic-coated or porous-coated surfaces, one piece elastomeric implants (with or without grommets), and those devices used for custom applications.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
