Cortoss - Technical Specifications - Mechanical Properties

• Average strain (deformation under load) exhibited by PMMA after 25 hours was 10 times greater than that exhibited by Cortoss^®
• Cortoss^® strain at 25 hours:
  • 2.2% at 50 MPa
• PMMA strain at 25 hours
  • 23% at 50 MPa

• More than twice the mean static compressive strength of PMMA, as determined in testing and as reported in the medical literature
  • 211.0 vs 94.9, respectively
  • Cortoss^® mean static compressive strength is most like cortical bone (20 MPa)
