ABSTRACT
This specification covers the requirements for silicone elastomer implants used in facial surgery, that is, chin, nasal, malar, and ear implants. The primary material of construction shall be fully vulcanized silicone elastomer. Implants may have orientation means or sites of attached fixation materials, or both. Different tests shall be conducted in order to determine the following properties of elastomers: elongation at failure, tensile strength, modulus, and tear.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for silicone elastomer implants used in facial surgery (that is, chin, nasal, malar, and ear implants).  
1.2 Limitations—This specification does not cover implants containing silicone gels or other gels or liquids. It does not necessarily cover any custom fabricated prosthesis manufactured to any other specification.  
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the mechanical testing and test methods portion, Section 7, of this specification: 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.  
1.4 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.

This specification applies only to soft-tissue expander devices fabricated with elastomer shells. It does not necessarily cover any custom fabricated soft tissue expander device manufactured to any other specification. The device shall be classified as: Type I; Type II; and Type III. Biocompatibility, tensile set, breaking force, tubing shell junction, injection port competence, overexpansion, tubing length adapter strength, needle stop penetration, and fused or adhered joints tests shall be performed to conform with the specified requirements.
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This specification contains requirements based on state-of-the-art science and technology as applicable to various considerations that have been identified as important to ensure reasonable safety and efficacy as it relates to the biocompatibility and the mechanical integrity of the device components in soft-tissue expander devices.  
5.1.1 This specification is not intended to limit the science and technology that may be considered and applied to ensure performance characteristics of subject devices in intended applications. When new information becomes available or changes in state-of-the-art science and technology occur and relevance to subject devices has been established by valid science, it is intended that this specification will be revised in accordance with ASTM guidelines.
