✦ Synopsis

Sterilization by ionizing radiation has become, next to ethylene oxide treatment, the most important "cold" sterilization process for medical devices made from plastics. The effects of ionizing radiation on the most important polymer for medical devices, ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene, are briefly described in this review.
