Standard
ASTM  F3505-21
Standard Test Method for Stent and Endovascular Prosthesis Kink Resistance
Scope/Abstract
1.1 This standard addresses the kink resistance of stents and endovascular prostheses (for example, stent grafts). The standard may also be applicable to scaffolds.

1.2 Test methods presented herein address the kink resistance of stents and endovascular protheses when exposed to bending in a single plane. While concurrent influences (for example, torque) are recognized to influence kinking properties, test methods other than single-plane bending are not addressed.

1.3 Test methods presented herein do not specifically address kink resistance of branched (for example, bifurcated) or multicomponent endovascular prostheses, but some aspects of this standard may be applicable to their application.
Extent of Recognition
