Designation: F2180 − 17Standard Specif i cation forMetallic Implantable Strands and Cables 1This standard is issued under the f i xed designation F2180; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specif i cation covers the materials, dimensionaltolerances, constructions, and mechanical properties for stan-dard metallic implantable strands and cables.1.2 This specif i cation is intended to assist in the develop-ment of specif i c strand and cable specif i cations. It is particu-larly appropriate for high load bearing applications. It is notintended however, to address all of the possible variations inconstruction, material, or properties.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.2.
