TitleBone Cement Test Samples
Creator NameLee; Alan John Clive (1939-2021); design engineer and inventor of the Exeter hip
DescriptionBone cement, likely used for tests to demonstrate temperature dependent properties. Made using the cement test moulds (EUL MS 491/10/6/2). Some of the samples are numbered, and one is dated 12/08/1994.
The tests would involve placing weights on the cement (leave for around 8 hours) to demonstrate the properties of the cement and the slow subsidence over time.
