Nontoxic Sterilizable Items

Polymers used in nontoxic sterilizable items, such as tubing, artificial organs, and wound coverings, must be able to withstand sterilization by ethylene oxide, steam autoclave, or gamma radiation. For medical products sterilized by gamma irradiation, only plastics that do not degrade or discolor on exposure to radiation, such as polyester and polycarbonates, can be used. [Pg.790]
