This specification describes the physical and chemical property, biocompatibility, and sterility requirements for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymers fabricated in sheet, tube, and rod shapes that may be used for surgical implants. It ensures the absence of adulterants, additives, processing aids, or extractable organic contaminants from fabricated configurations. It does not apply to specific surgical implants, would instead be subjected to appropriate end-use performance standards.
