ISO 5838-1 2013 Edition, “Implants for Surgery – Metallic Skeletal Pins and Wires – Part 1: General Requirements,” and it’s available now from Document Center Inc. This part of ISO 5838 specifies general requirements for metallic skeletal pins and wires for use in bone surgery, excluding wires for binding and twisting.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5838-1:1995). The new Edition has been technically revised to add to the requirements for finish (Clause 6), to add a reference to ISO 14630 and to introduce new requirements for sterilization (Clause 7), packaging (Clause 8) and information supplied by the manufacturer (Clause 9).
There are 2 more parts to the series:
- ISO 5838-2, Implants for Surgery — Skeletal Pins and Wires — Part 2: Steinmann Skeletal Pins — Dimensions, and
- ISO 5838-3, Implants for Surgery — Skeletal Pins and Wires — Part 3: Kirschner Skeletal Wires
