ISO 15142-3:2003

Implants for surgery — Metal intramedullary nailing systems — Part 3: Connection devices and reamer diameter measurements

ISO 15142-3:2003 specifies metallic medical devices used for the temporary intramedullary stabilization of long bones by surgical implantation, classifying and giving other requirements and dimensions for the devices used to insert, remove or both insert and remove intramedullary nails. It also provides a means of measuring reamer diameter. It is applicable to all metal intramedullary fixation devices used for temporary fixation of long bones in the human body, except drive connections for locking elements.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15142-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 150, Implants for surgery, Subcommittee SC 5,
Osteosynthesis and spinal devices.
ISO 15142 consists of the following parts, under the general title Implants for surgery — Metal intramedullary
nailing systems:
 Part 1: Intramedullary nails
 Part 2: Locking components
 Part 3: Connection devices and reamer diameter measurements
