The use of various gases for the sterilization of nondisposable and disposable plastic medical devices has become firmly established in the past decade and a half. However, the subject of sterilant residues remaining in plastic devices following an ethylene oxide gas sterilization has only recently
Freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) which either had or had not been sterilized by exposure to ethylene oxide (EtO) prior to lyophilization was obtained from two commercial sources. EtO-sterilized FDBA was reexposed to EtO as a positive control. Gas chromatograph assays revealed that three out of fou
