ASTM F2392-24 - Standard Test Method for Burst Strength of Surgical Sealants

1.1 This test method provides a means for comparison of the burst or rupture strength of sealants on soft tissue. This test method can be used as a clinically relevant model for quality assurance, development, and comparative testing of different adhesives or adherends.

1.2 This test method measures only burst strength or “cohesive strength” of an adhesive/adherend system, and not the adhesive strength.

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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
